I’m planning to stay in the car for more than 20 hours tomorrow, so I saved some games on my laptop to keep myself occupied. Since there’s no internet in the car, I’m wondering if the games I installed need online access during the first setup. Thanks!

Occasionally the games must be launched for the first time with a connection to confirm the key.

They usually have to set up something for the first time, yes. I believe most, if not all, Steam games require an internet connection initially.

You don't require internet unless you miss the essential prerequisites. I saved the drivers 40 + 3 days before July, didn’t have internet for three months, and all my games worked perfectly on the first setup without it! Cheers! P.S. Test disabling Wi-Fi to see if it functions without internet.

It varies by game type. For small indie titles, the case is often unnecessary. Major games usually require drivers; without them, they may download them via the internet.

Normally, a basic configuration needs online access for most functions...
