i’ve tested it , that’s how i found out. If you run your dns it’s easy. Set licensing.xboxlive.com to 0.0.0.0 .

The entitlement only lasts a few days. If the online check fails and you’re otherwise online, it gets revoked .

Nearly all DRM systems are fail-Closed not fail-open.

"online check" in this context means online license / entitlement check. There's also a "network online" check that you can disable in the settings.
