    What if we don't have Xbox Live?

    Then you can't get it, because you need to have the DLC (map pack) for it to work.

  • Question
    The game said it included the bonus map "Nuketown", but then again I can't connect to Xbox Live. Also, it's pre-owned. Does that mean Nuketown is for multiplayer too?
    DOMINGO GONZALEZ
    Community Answer
    Yes, but it will be zombies only. So, you need Wi-Fi to play with friends. And you need the season pass if you want more stuff.

  • Question
    I was able to download and install it on my Xbox One but I can't find it anywhere in game. Does it run on Xbox one? I can't find the answer anywhere.
    Community Answer
    No, it doesn't. However, do you have an Xbox 360? if so, try there and then it should work, provided you downloaded it.
