Best Offline mode games on Steam Deck
This list shows the best games you can play in offline mode on the Steam Deck. It includes both new popular titles, old gems, and indie, for a total of over 130 games.
The Steam Deck is perfect for traveling, and there are several situations in which you don’t have access to an internet connection (for example, on an airplane), so offline mode games are a must.
Please note:
Almost any DRM-free game on Steam will work offline, with a few exceptions. However, games using third-party DRM (such as Denuvo, Ubisoft, EA, and Rockstar) are not guaranteed to work.
All games from GOG are playable offline since they are DRM free. Install them via Heroic Launcher.
Most single-player games (especially older ones) work offline. Sometimes achievements may not unlock in offline mode, but often they will just update as soon as you go online.
Some games with a multiplayer component may still work offline, allowing you to progress through the entire story (such as Monster Hunter: World).
To respect your time and get straight to the point, I have compiled a concise list of games without unnecessary explanations and pictures. Feel free to search the titles that catch your interest on Steam for more info.
I will update this list over time with new games. If you notice I am missing a great offline game, please contact me, and I will add it to the list as soon as possible
