REDMOND, Wa. June 19 (Playnews) - Microsoft has abandoned its Xbox One DRM and online requirement policies, president of the interactive entertainment business Don Mattrick announced on the console's official website.
The changes, Mattrick explained, come from the feedback him and his team have received since the Microsoft's E3 press conference.
"You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world."
"I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360," Mattrick added.
According to Mattrick, the only time an internet connection is required for the Xbox One is during the system's initial set-up, then owners "can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again".
Additionally, Microsoft will be cancelling any regional restrictions for the console.
