About OfflineDeck

OfflineDeck lists PC and Steam Deck games and tells you, as honestly as public data allows, whether they work without an internet connection. It is built for flights, trains, road trips and bad hotel Wi-Fi.

Methodology

We only use facts that the stores themselves publish. Every game gets one of four offline statuses, and we never guess: if the stores don't give us a fact to rely on, the status stays unknown.

• Fully offline. The game is sold on GOG. GOG's published policy is that its games are DRM-free, so once the installer is downloaded you need no launcher and no internet connection.
• Online once to activate. The Steam version has no extra account or DRM listed. You install and sign in to Steam while online, then switch Steam to Offline Mode. It also covers games whose Steam page lists Denuvo (which has to go online to activate) and games where Valve's Steam Deck review says first-time setup needs the internet.
• Needs online or launcher. The Steam page lists a separate publisher account or launcher (for example EA, Ubisoft or Rockstar), or Valve's Steam Deck review says single-player play needs an active internet connection.
• Unknown. The store information is missing, unclear or unusual, so we don't call it either way.

Only games with a single-player mode are listed. When a game is sold on both stores we show the best status and tell you which store it applies to. Each game page has a table per store with our reason and a link to that store's own page, so you can check it yourself.

The “DRM-free” filter means the game is available on GOG. “No launcher” means the best version needs no third-party launcher or account (at most the Steam client).

Where the data comes from

• Steam (store.steampowered.com): names, prices, genres, cover art, store notices about DRM and accounts, and Valve's Steam Deck compatibility report.
• GOG (gog.com): names, prices, features and its DRM-free policy.

Data last refreshed October 26, 2026. This site is not affiliated with Valve or GOG.

Limits

• We haven't tested these games ourselves. Patches, store changes and DLC can change a game's offline behaviour. Check before a long trip.
• “Offline” here means single-player. Multiplayer, leaderboards, cloud saves and some DLC may still need a connection.
• Prices are in US dollars, refreshed nightly, and may be out of date or differ by region.

Affiliate disclosure

Buy links on this site may be affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes a game's offline status or its position in the list. Steam has no affiliate program, so Steam links are plain links.

Spotted a mistake?

Store pages change, and so do games. If a status looks wrong, check the store page linked on the game's page. Fixes show up on the next nightly refresh.
