How to stop Steam from opening when launching a game
Another trick is to right-click the game shortcut and find the 'target' field. Add "-noSteam" at the end of the target path (make sure there's a space before the dash). This can work for some games to bypass Steam at startup.

To stop Steam from automatically opening when you launch a game, you can try setting the game to launch in offline mode. First, start Steam and go to 'Steam' > 'Go Offline...' Then, restart Steam and launch your game. This should let you play without Steam popping up every time.
Honestly, just let Steam run. It's designed to be a part of the game's launch process for a reason. Not only does it manage updates, but it also keeps your game saves and settings synced. Trying to bypass it might cause more hassle than it's worth.
