Online hasn't just been about multi-player vs single player gaming for a long time. It's now just as much about updates, patches and fresh content. If you have a relatively sizable library installed on your xbox or ps4 then you know how regularly downloads occur.
Gaming trends are sometimes hard to spot when they're happening, you need the benefit of time and hindsight, however one trend that has been extremely obvious is the industry striving to create a longer tail on a games lifespan this gen.
If you're not playing with a console that's connected online, and you're playing only the unpatched disc versions of single player games like Assassins Creed Odyssey with only day one content, then you really aren't experiencing that game at its best.
