Yes, single-player is supported
The current Xbox Store listing explicitly supports single-player as well as online co-op for two to four players. GamesRadar reports that AI synth companions fill empty squad positions, allowing the campaign squad to be completed when human players are absent.
The second point is an attributed review finding rather than a detailed official bot manual. The supplied evidence does not establish every bot command, difficulty limit or replacement rule, so those finer behaviors should be checked in the live game.
What the official patch confirms about bots
Official launch patch notes explicitly refer to companion bots and seven companion-bot-related perks. That establishes that bots and bot-specific perk interactions are part of the supported launch build without requiring speculation from footage or community posts.
The patch notes form a launch-state record and can become outdated as balance changes. They do not, by themselves, prove which seven perks are optimal or how later patches may have changed bot priorities.
What solo players should expect from the campaign
GamesRadar reports a 15-mission campaign taking roughly eight to ten hours and says the first game is not required to follow the sequel. Those figures are review findings, not official completion guarantees; chosen difficulty, failed attempts and exploration can change an individual run.
The campaign premise begins with Colonial Marines answering a distress signal and facing Xenomorphs, Synthetics and rogue bioweapon threats. Nothing in the supplied evidence says solo players receive a separate campaign or abbreviated mission set.
Build around predictable support
For solo progression, choose a class whose role covers the weakness you most need to control. T-Pose Games describes Medic as support, Machinist as area control, Marauder as heavy weapons, Hunter as weak-point pressure and Duelist as flexible damage, while warning against a universal tier list.
Use the companion perks the game exposes and keep your own perk-grid connections valid. Treat claims about hidden bot intelligence, exact targeting logic or a guaranteed best class as unverified unless a current official note or repeatable in-game test establishes them.
