What's new in October 2026
We re-checked every game in the App Store and Google Play on October 3, 2026. Farming Simulator 23 Mobile joins the list as the tenth game, My Time at Portia has quietly disappeared from Google Play (it is iPhone-only now — we fixed the dead link), and every entry got a price-and-ratings line so you can see what is premium, what is free and how players rate it.
How we picked
We're a mobile studio, so we test on real phones — in airplane mode. The bar: the core loop must genuinely run offline (we excluded online-only farms like Hay Day and Township), saves stay on the device, and the game respects your time and battery. We favored titles on both the App Store and Google Play, and we flag where a game is premium (no ads, no pay-to-win) versus free.
1. Stardew Valley
The gold standard. A one-time paid port with no ads and no online requirement: farm, mine, fish, befriend the town and lose dozens of hours — all 100% offline, all on your device. If you buy one farming game, buy this.
Offline: full single-player farming RPG · premium, no ads/p2w
Price and ratings: $4.99 on both stores, no ads or in-app purchases. Rated 4.6 on Google Play (5M+ downloads) and 4.8 on the App Store with more than 60,000 ratings; still updated in 2026.
2. My Time at Portia
A warm 3D life sim where you inherit a workshop, farm, craft, mine and rebuild a town. It's a premium single-player game, so the whole adventure plays offline with no energy timers nagging you back online. One caveat: in 2026 it is an iPhone and iPad game only — the Android version was pulled from Google Play.
Offline: 3D farm + craft life sim · premium · iOS only
App Store · Google Play: no longer available
Price and ratings: $7.99 on the App Store, no ads or purchases. Rated 3.9 on iOS — the port is heavy and has not been updated since 2022. The Android version has been removed from Google Play.
3. Harvest Town
The closest free game to Stardew: a deep pixel farm-and-town RPG with crops, livestock, mining, fishing and a real story. After the first launch you can switch off the internet and keep farming — only a few extras are online-gated.
Offline: Stardew-style pixel RPG · free
Price and ratings: free with ads and in-app purchases. Rated 4.5 on Google Play (10M+ downloads) and 4.8 on the App Store.
4. Pocket Harvest
Kairosoft's take: build and optimize a farm-resort, lay out fields and stalls, and chase the perfect harvest in that addictive pixel-management loop. Like every Kairosoft title, it's fully offline single-player — no account, no connection.
Offline: Kairosoft farm-management sim · premium
Price and ratings: $4.99 on the App Store, $6.49 on Google Play, no ads or purchases. Rated 4.3 on iOS but only 3.1 on Google Play, where players report crashes on newer phones — try the iOS version or Pocket Stables first.
5. Big Little Farmer
Built from the ground up for offline play — the word "offline" is right in its name. Plant crops, raise animals, trade goods and run a cozy village farm with no internet at all. A great pick-up-and-play option for low-end phones.
Offline: purpose-built offline farm sim · free
Price and ratings: free with ads and in-app purchases. Rated 4.2 on Google Play (10M+ downloads) and 4.2 on the App Store.
6. Farm Day Village
A bright, classic offline farm simulator: inherit a farm, grow and harvest, raise animals, mine, and ship produce by train. All the staple farm-sim systems with no connection required — relaxing and undemanding.
Offline: classic offline farm sim · free
Price and ratings: free with ads and in-app purchases. Rated 4.4 on Google Play (10M+ downloads) and 4.3 on the App Store; updated in September 2026.
7. Dreamdale
A polished farm-craft-adventure: dig, farm, craft tools and build up a fantasy world with satisfying time-management progression. It plays offline — you just skip the optional ad bonuses — making it a great commute companion.
Offline: farm + craft adventure · free
Price and ratings: free with ads and in-app purchases. Rated 4.3 on Google Play (10M+ downloads) and 4.6 on the App Store with more than 50,000 ratings.
8. Tiny Pixel Farm
A bite-size, single-screen pixel ranch you manage at your own pace — feed animals, harvest, fulfill orders. It's light, relaxing and easy to play offline on the go, which makes it perfect for short sessions and weaker devices.
Offline: casual single-screen pixel ranch · free
Price and ratings: free with ads and in-app purchases. Rated 4.4 on Google Play (1M+ downloads) and 4.8 on the App Store.
9. Pocket Stables
For a farm with a twist: this Kairosoft sim has you breeding, training and racing horses while building a thriving ranch. Same beloved offline pixel-management style as Pocket Harvest, with a sporting goal on top — no internet needed.
Offline: Kairosoft ranch & horse-racing sim · premium
Price and ratings: $5.99 on the App Store, $7.99 on Google Play, no ads or purchases. Rated 4.5 on Google Play and 4.7 on the App Store.
10. Farming Simulator 23 Mobile
The tractor side of farming: licensed John Deere, Fendt and Case machines, three maps, crops from wheat to grapes, and animals to feed — all playable offline with a one-time purchase. It is a real simulator rather than a cozy game, so expect to plough, sow and sell at market prices. A newer Farming Simulator 26 Mobile came out in September 2026 ($7.99), but its first reviews are rough (3.5–3.9), so FS23 is still the safer buy.
Offline: premium tractor-farming simulator · one-time purchase
Price and ratings: $5.99 on both stores, optional paid DLC. Rated 4.4 on Google Play and 4.3 on the App Store.
The Mad Fox team's take
Offline farming is honesty to your hardware and your time: Stardew Valley and Pocket Harvest keep every bit of progress on the device — no ping, no re-downloads — and Big Little Farmer and Farm Day play fine on a train or a plane where there's no signal at all.

FAQ
Which farm games really work without internet?
Stardew Valley, Pocket Harvest, Pocket Stables, Farming Simulator 23, Big Little Farmer and Farm Day Village are fully offline — their core gameplay needs no connection at all. Harvest Town, Dreamdale and Tiny Pixel Farm play offline too (a few extras and ad bonuses are online-gated).
Are there offline farm games with no ads or pay-to-win?
Yes — Stardew Valley ($4.99), Pocket Harvest, Pocket Stables and Farming Simulator 23 ($5.99) are premium one-time purchases with no ads and no pay-to-win; My Time at Portia ($7.99) is premium too, but iPhone-only now.
Can I play these on a plane or subway?
Yes. Every game on this list runs in airplane mode; none require a live connection for the main loop.
What's the best offline farm game for a low-end phone?
Tiny Pixel Farm, Big Little Farmer and the Kairosoft pixel sims are light and run smoothly on older or budget devices. Avoid My Time at Portia and Farming Simulator 23 on weak phones — both are 3D and demanding.
Does my progress save offline?
Yes — progress is stored on your device. Some games also sync to the cloud when a connection becomes available, but that's optional.
Which offline farm game is most like Stardew Valley?
Harvest Town is the closest free alternative — pixel art, crops, livestock, mining, fishing and a town with a story. If you do not mind paying, Stardew Valley itself is $4.99 and worth every cent.
