Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will require a persistent online connection. The live-service game features cross-play between PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Rocksteady Studios unveiled the first gameplay footage of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the upcoming co-op looter-shooter set in the Batman: Arkham universe, during Sony’s State of Play presentation on Thursday. Anticipation is high, though fans eager to get their hands on the game may be a tad disappointed to hear that will require an internet connection — even when playing alone.
An FAQ on the game’s website, published after the gameplay reveal, says that “an internet connection is required to play Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League solo or via online co-op.” Local co-op will not be supported, according to the FAQ, which means that the game won’t be playable offline in any capacity.
While the FAQ doesn’t give an explanation for this decision, the online requirement can likely be attributed to the nature of the game’s cross-platform co-op system, which allows people to drop in and out of missions alongside other players across PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
