Summary
Ever since Spotify Wrapped started summarizing what we’d been listening to for the past 12 months at the end of each year, anything that can be summed up in a similar way has followed suit. That includes video game platforms, and withXbox,PlayStation, andNintendoall giving users their breakdowns, today it’sSteam’s turn, as its annualSteam Replay is ready for you to take a look at.
Those of you who check out your Steam breakdown at the end of each year will notice it has returned to its original name. Steam labeled it a Year In Review in 2023 but has reverted to the far cleaner Steam Replay for 2024. As for what Steam Replay runs down, it’s pretty similar to all the other video game wrap-ups which makes sense since all we really want to know is what we played and how long we played for.
First up is how many games you’ve played this year. What might have been fun, and maybe a suggestion for next year if anyone from Valve is reading this, is having how many games you played vs. how many you bought. Almost everyone who uses Steam regularly will have bought quite a few games in various sales that they’ve not gotten around to, or may never play in the future. They were so cheap though, it would have been sillynotto buy them, right?
Steam Replay Is Here To Break Down How Much Time You Spent PC Gaming In 2024
Surely We Didn’t SpendThatMany Hours Playing Balatro, Right?
As is the case with some of the other annual video game breakdowns, Steam Replay not only reveals how many hours you spend playing games on the platform, but also how many gaming sessions those hours were spread over. Perfect not only for working out how many hours you spent glued toHelldiversandHades' sequels, but also how long you spent playing them on average each time you fired up Steam.
Here’s hoping the creator ofBalatrodoesn’t do an individual wrap-up for their hugely popular card game. I really don’t need to see those numbers.
The one thing Steam Replay has that the other gaming wrap-ups don’t is a chart showing how long you spend on your PC vs. yourSteam Deck. Always fun to find out you spent 90 percent of your year on a handheld device while the PC you spent $3,000 on sat there watching you. Nintendo normally has a docked vs. handheld breakdown butappears to have omitted that detail from its own wrap-upwhich went live on Wednesday evening.
