While many of the top-downloaded Android games have online elements, their massive success stems from an inherently fun, simple core loop that can be played without an internet connection.
This list focuses on the overall most downloaded Android games that offer a robust, fully-playable single-player/offline mode after the initial install and updates.
- 1. Subway Surfers
- Downloads: Over 2.7 Billion (Total All-Time)

- Offline Mode: The core gameplay of dashing, dodging trains, and collecting coins is entirely offline. The online features (leaderboards, competitive elements) are secondary to the main, single-player running experience.
- 2. Candy Crush Saga
- Downloads: Over 2.0 Billion (Total All-Time)
- Genre: Match-3 Puzzle.

- Downloads: Over 1.2 Billion (for My Talking Tom)
