Microsoft confirms that the new Xbox One home console will not have an always online requirement on launch, but it seems that users will have to pay a unique fee as long as they plan to buy and then play used games.

Don Mattrick, the president of the Interactive Entertainment division at Microsoft, states during the reveal event that gamers will be able to use the new Xbox One without connecting to the Internet.

All individual game purchases will be linked to the individual Xbox Live accounts and that means that publishers can easily detect whether a game has been re-sold or simply borrowed by another player.

It also seems that all video games for the Xbox One will be installed to the hard drive of the device in order to increase overall performance.

It's unclear what fee players who want used games will need to pay in order to run them on the new Microsoft platform.
