No. Cities: Skylines II is a purely single-player city-building simulation. Colossal Order chose to focus on a deep, detailed single-player simulation rather than the complexity of network synchronisation, so there is no multiplayer, no co-op and therefore no crossplay, and there are no announced plans to add it.
The whole game is single-player and the core simulation can be played offline — you plan, build and manage your city on your own, without other players. Only the online asset and mods features need a connection.
Cities: Skylines II has not been given an official Steam Deck rating by Valve, and it is a demanding simulation, so performance on the handheld is limited and can require lowered settings or an experimental Proton version. Check recent community reports before relying on Deck play.
