Or, maybe their internet isn’t the best for playing online. These are all solid reasons for wondering isĀ Anthem online only? Without further ado, let’s dive right in and take a look at the answer to these questions.

Let’s start out with the main answer to this question. Yes, Anthem is online only. You do have to have an internet connection at all times in order to enjoy the game. You aren’t able to play the game offline at all. We are sorry but that is just the type of game that Anthem is.

However, it doesn’t end there. If you are on PS4 or Xbox One, you will need to have PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold, respectively, on those platforms in order to play the game. It sucks but those subscriptions are required for playing this game since it is online only.

But if you are on PC, you don’t have to worry about those unnecessary subscriptions or fees. This is rather annoying since other online games like Destiny 2 will allow you to play some without a subscription.
