"SimCity&amp;#039;s offline, single-player mode is out now as part of a new update. The update, which is in the process of being rolled out, also improves performance and introduces new save options.  According to the patch notes, single-player mode includes &amp;quot;multi-city play, regional interdependence, and city specialisation. Regions are saved locally and there is no limit on number of save games.&amp;quot; Players can also disable auto-save and make copies of their regions at multiple save points. Friend searches, meanwhile, are now tied to Origin accounts. Maxis originally said that SimCity wouldn&amp;#039;t support offline play because online was a &amp;quot;fundamental&amp;quot; part of the game&amp;#039;s vision.  The studio then started exploring an offline mode following connectivity issues at launch. The first expansion for SimCity, &amp;#039;Cities of Tomorrow&amp;#039;, was released last November. It takes players 50 years into the future. Our review of SimCity: Reboot stands on shaky foundations Watch a video for SimCity below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
