If you have a lackluster internet connection or want to take things easy, there is no better way to do so than by playing games offline. Many popular games require a constant online connection, but that isn't always the case. Last Epoch is one such game that supports both online and offline play.

As soon as you launch Last Epoch on Steam, you can choose between playing offline or online. If you choose to play offline, you can avoid the login process, but this also means you will continue playing offline until you restart the game and choose to play online.

2. Toggle In-Game Offline Mode

If you want to have the option to switch between offline and online modes in Last Epoch at all times, there is a way. Launch the game, ensuring your internet connection is active, and get to the character select screen. Locate the toggle for offline mode on the top-left side of the screen.

When you switch to offline mode, you can access your list of offline characters. Surprisingly, you can continue using the in-game chat to talk to friends if you opt to go offline using this route, but only as long as your internet connection remains active, of course.

Why Play Last Epoch Offline?

One of the biggest reasons for playing offline has to do with the fact that you are dealing with a poor internet connection. If that is not a problem for you, then the ability to pause freely while playing offline might convince you to try this mode. However, you will miss out on playing with your friends, but you can solve this problem by creating a different character for each mode and thus experience the best of both worlds.
