Why can I not play Fallout Shelter offline on PC?
Nope, you def can play it offline. Sounds like you might need to check your download or update settings. Make sure everything's fully downloaded and updated, then try launching the game again. Sometimes platforms like Steam have specific settings for offline play, so check those too.

It's all about that initial setup! Once you have Fallout Shelter installed and updated on your PC, the internet becomes as necessary as a bicycle is to a fish. Enjoy managing your vault without worrying about your connection!
Actually, you can play Fallout Shelter offline on PC! The game doesn't require an internet connection to play once you've downloaded it. Just make sure you've got the latest version installed from your platform of choice (like Steam or the Microsoft Store), and you should be good to dive into your vault without needing the web.
