The VG247 article this information comes fromexplains, “One of the biggest criticisms Payday 3 faced at launch is its lack of a true offline mode […] Unfortunately, the mode intended to be enjoyed without relying on an internet connection or servers… does require both still.”

It continues, “To launch the Solo Mode beta, you’re going to need to connect to a server. At the end of your session, a connection will also be required to upload your progress.”

Although we understand this is beta, it’s hilarious that something offering an offline mode isn’t offline.

Undoubtedly, this is why the developers are so hellbent on referring to the feature as ‘solo mode’ rather than offline mode.
