Can you play games on steam without an internet connection?

[Nibbler]

I was just wondering if games bought off steam are playable without an internet connection. I'm in the process of moving and I probably won't have internet for a little bit. I'm guessing not because you have to log in to play. Any help is much appreciated! :D I would disconnect from my current internet to check, but I forgot the pass, and I'm too lazy to restart it if I'm not able to reconnect xD

For single player games that don't require a third party drm client (XBLA or Uplay for example) yes you can.

Follow these Steam support instructions for Offline mode -> https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3160-AGCB-2555

Make sure that you do this and test each game that you want to be able to play before you lose internet access.

Just set Steam to offline and you can play almost alk games offline i do all the time.

Remember that you have to be online first, to tell Steam that it can go offline.
