Q: 1)What internet requirements are there beyond initial download and install? 2)Does it require internet to play one player mode? 3)Does it require third party online networks such as STEAM to use it?
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition - Microsoft Windows 10 (Digital). Here are the answers to your questions about Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition on Microsoft Windows 10: 1) What internet requirements are there beyond initial download and install? After the initial download and installation, an internet connection is required for online multiplayer, game updates, and accessing certain online features like leaderboards and some community content. For a stable multiplayer experience, a broadband internet connection is recommended. The game uses a new online platform built on the Xbox Live infrastructure for its multiplayer services. 2) Does it require internet to play one-player mode? No, it does not require a constant internet connection to play the single-player campaigns or skirmish mode (single-player matches against AI). You can play these modes offline. However, when you first launch the game, you may need to be online for a one-time authentication. After that, you can play offline. 3) Does it require third-party online networks such as STEAM to use it? Yes, the digital version of Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition is typically tied to a digital distribution platform. Since you are asking about a "Digital" version for Microsoft Windows, the two most common platforms are: Steam: If you purchase the game on Steam, you will need the Steam client to download, install, and launch the game. Steam's own platform handles the game's file management, updates, and online features. Xbox/Microsoft Store: If you purchase it through the Microsoft Store or get it via Xbox Game Pass for PC, you will use the Xbox app for PC to manage the game. The game's online multiplayer is then handled by the Xbox Live network. The game does not use the old "Ensemble Studios Online" (ESO) network from the original release; it has been modernized to use these more current platforms.
