Hi, what about games that state 'internet connection required for downloadable content'? For instance, Epic Rollercoasters?

Hi there, SenServs! We're excited to see your interest in adding some amazing VR content to your collection, and we want to make sure you're able to play without a constant Wi-Fi connection! The message you're referring to on games in our store means that in order to access new downloadable content on the game that's not already installed on your headset, internet access would be required. The only reason any content should be downloading in the background is if you're connected to the internet, click download on some content, and then play another track while that content is downloading. The internet is only needed for the initial download of 'downloadable content,' and once installed, it should no longer be needed. Let us know if any other questions pop up!
