The beta of Star Wars Battlefront will not offer the possibility to play it offline.
Because one mode, the survival missions, has been presented as playable offline. Here, one or two players serve the Rebels against a horde of attacking Imperial troops. These “Survival Missions” will also be playable offline in the final Battlefront. Console players can use the couch co-op to play split-screen with a friend.
However, there will be no option to play the survival missions on Tatooine offline during the beta. Players must always be online. This was reiterated on the website reddit. No reasons were provided.
The beta for Star Wars Battlefront will take place from October 8 to October 13. On Playstation 4 and Xbox One, the beta is about 7 GB in size, while on PC via Origin it will be 11 gigabytes. No registration is required.
