No, you won't lose progress if you play Steam games offline, provided the game supports offline mode. Your achievements and gameplay progress are kept in offline mode and synced with Steam once you reconnect to the internet. Ensure your game saves offline, and enable Steam Cloud synchronization to avoid potential data loss. However, any asynchronous multiplayer or online-only features may not function until you're back online. Check specific game settings to confirm they support offline play, as some might have requirements for internet connectivity.
