- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I can't help but question the accuracy of this list, since the Steam Deck doesn't seem to log hours for games played in offline mode correctly. I easily have hundreds of hours unaccounted for. It will also add played time for hours spent in standby with a game running, but then wipe all of the hours played and in standby once I connect to the internet.
Valve would probably like to hear about your findings so that they can resolve this if it is verified
At least on PC if you play a game without internet connection the library update the achievements/hours played when you reconnect, is different when you log in the offline mode?
It does update achievements. It's really just play time that seems to have issues
I recently put a dozen hours into Witcher 3 while using my steam deck on a couple long flights. I'm pretty sure it synced correctly when I finally got home and connected to wifi. Maybe it didn't work at one time, but I'd be surprised if it still doesn't.
Yeah I played Divinity Original Sin this weekend and my internet died Saturday, finished the game, when my internet got back on Monday steam saved my +15hr and the achievements but I also let my PC on and steam opened hoping for the best.
