Being a multiplayer-focused title, you may be wondering if Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has single-player capabilities at all. Here’s what you need to know if you want to navigate the invaded Metropolis on your own.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a big departure in many ways for Rocksteady. The developer is famous for its Batman Arkham series, which are deeply beloved as single-player action games. The studio built its reputation on great games you can play on your own, and that’s why many are a little wary about the always-on, co-op nature of this newest title.
The developer is instead moving its focus onto a squad of four anti-heroes, teamed up to try and overcome the Justice League and, ultimately Brainiac. It will then sprawl into a live service structure, with new DLC and playable characters being added to the team, all bringing something new to the game.
That will be a worrying sign for some, as many will likely just want a continuation of what they loved about the Arkham games. Having seasonal updates and battle passes may sound strange for those who are looking to get lost in a Rocksteady game.
That’s why it’s a fair question to ask if you can play Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League completely on your own. We’re here to help answer that. Here’s what you need to know when it comes to playing the game solo.

Can you play Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League solo?
Yes, you can play Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League completely solo. This is confirmed on the game’s website FAQ, where it states: “The full game is playable either solo or with up to four players in online co-op.”
However there are some things to be aware of. Regardless of if you are playing solo, the game is still focused on the four-character squad. Even on your own, you will be playing with three AIs who will fight alongside you.
It’s also important to note that, at launch, an online connection will be needed to play the game even if you play alone. This will be rectified in a later patch, where an offline single-player version of the game will eventually be offered, but there is no confirmed timeline for that.
One nice thing though is if you are playing on your own, you won’t need to be a PS Plus member of Xbox Lives subscriber, so there’s no barrier there.
