These are the best offline Android games worth playing in 2019. Fun games you can enjoy on your phone, Galaxy or tablet anywhere and everywhere. Whether you’re on a vacation, a subway commute, or enjoying the wild outdoors, these games don’t need WiFi or any internet.
These days most games need some sort of data connection to work. That’s how Fortnite adds your skin and finds players. Or, how Pokemon spawns new monsters and Clash of Clans loads your village. So while most games need internet, if you have some time to kill there are other addicting games that don’t.
We dug through the Google Play Store’s growing list of offline Android games and found the best free and paid options for you to play. Games you’ll want to have ready for when you need to disconnect or have some time to kill on the airplane.
Additionally, these are great games for your kids that don’t have a data plan or play on a tablet. Most Android tablets don’t have a SIM card like your phone and only work on WiFi. If you’re in the car for a road trip, or on a plane, your kid’s tablet can still play these games.
