Do achievements and hours on Steam Deck transfer to PC?

[DorkDroll]

I bought my steam deck yesterday and I'm anxiously waiting for it to be delivered. I had a thought now that since I'm going to use it often offline, if my achievements and accumulated hours go to my PC.

I know it's impossible for this to happen in offline mode but I'll connect it to the internet whenever I get the chance, so would this be the moment that maybe my achievements and hours go to PC?

It's a computer. It acts exactly like if you had a computer where you played the games. So yes, the achievements and playtime do transfer because they are tied to your account.

Achievements achieved while in Steam's offline mode register (all with that same time) when going back online. Offline-mode playtime does not.

Yeah, that post you marked as answer doesn't tell the full story.

If you look at your year-in-review page, it says near the bottom that offline playtime doesn't actually count towards your overall statistics.

Achievements may transfer, but with limitations. Once your deck goes back online, every achievement will upload at the same time giving you (depending how long you spend playing offline before connecting to the internet) potentially dozens of identical timestamps for unlocks. Some people like to complain about that. Some games also don't unlock achievements offline on the deck. Hi-Fi Rush is one of them I know for sure the deck won't unlock achievements unless it's connected to the network (maybe they patched that at some point, but it was like that on launch)

Last season of walking dead telltale does not upload the achievements while the deck come back online. Dunno for others game but i'm reading in reddit that others games has the same problem
