In short, the network mode or the possibility of "connection" via the Internet is present in 90% of cases, and if we talk about video games of today's standard, in 99%.

Multiplayer mode - it's not necessarily a game over the Internet or local network. Play two or more can be on the same computer. These games include turn-based strategies (aka TBS), sports simulators, arcades, fighting games (Mortal Kombat series) and the aforementioned racing (splitscreen mode).
