How to play singleplayer?

[Die Zahl]

How i can play this singleplayer game without online mode? I only can select "play online" :(

Create your own session and make it private, or friends only. Or you just join someones session and do the main quests and stuff

The game automatically wants to put you into an online session when you start it up, but you can just select the settings to put you into a private session, in which case you are essentially playing it singleplayer already.

If your internet is down and/or you're on the run from the FBI, the game will try to create an online session, then once that fails because you don't have internet, it'll just start you up offline.

Yup. it says "online" session but you can run it offline, you just can't do event quests since those rely on server timers.

Also when ever you select a mission you have the option to select how many players can be in the map with you from 1-4. Put it on 1 and only you will be able to play it.

i always create online session with default settings, but no one ever joined my session.

What they said, but keep in mind it's not an "always online" game. If you have no internet connection you can still boot it up and play solo just fine.

highly doubt that. You can only see other players in the gathering hub anyway. (or in your room in iceborne)

Thanks guys. But i requested a refund because it says on the storepage its a singleplayer game only but its not.

you do know the game will scale to how many players are playing right? meaning, if you play single player it will be on single player difficulty. so yes, it can be a single player game

[Sekaro]

It can be played solo but since it's an "always online" game, it can't be paused during a hunt which is one of the minor things I didn't like about this game as compared to the older MH games.

Sucks that you won't play a great game because you need to be online. Unfortunately it is the way gaming is going. Most games these days require you to be online, single player or not.

Set up a server to play single player games

But why not just play it by yourself?
I can understand if the problem was that it was singleplayer only or if it was multiplayer only but it's not so...

Also where does it say single player only?

I just checked the store page and funnily enough the tags/info (where it says stuff like single player, controller support etc) doesn't mention multiplayer at all.

Though simply scrolling down the page and seeing all the promo art of groups of hunters, or a quick Google search reveals the game is multiplayer quite quickly.

Maybe this dude was lazy and didn't look into the game and assumed it was exclusively balanced around having a full group?
