PlayStation, Xbox, and Change have had their 2023 year-in-reviews go dwell – apps that let you know simply how a lot time you’ve spent engulfed within the gelatinous mass that’s video video games – now it’s Steam’s flip. By way of the Steam software or by signing into the web site, you may get a write-up of your yr spent on the platform.

Besides it gained’t let you know your general time performed.

No. What it will let you know is how a lot of your mysterious general time has been spent in every recreation. It can additionally let you know what your most popular genres are, what number of achievements you unlocked, and the way a lot time was spent utilizing a mouse versus a keyboard.

However sufficient about you, let’s speak about me.

This yr, Steam has me clocked at having performed 167 video games, with 121 of them being new. To me, it’s shocking that Baldur’s Gate 3 is my highest-played recreation, contemplating I don’t really feel like I’m very far into it. Following that’s Towards the Storm and Draft of Darkness, so no less than my playtime is concentrated on my favourite video games of the yr. My longest streak of days taking part in on the platform was 27.

The year-in-review additionally compares you towards the median for individuals on the platform. Contemplating that Steam can also be utilized by “regular” individuals who pays for their very own insurance coverage, the median is laughably far under what I “achieved.”

The spider graph displaying my favourite genres is most fascinating to me. Roguelike Deckbuilders and Open World Survival Crafting are on the prime, which is humorous, as a result of I don’t significantly like these genres. Vampire and cyberpunk make extra sense. Nevertheless, fight racing and naval warfare are oddly particular. Naval warfare was in all probability Waves of Metal, however what fight racing? My Summer season Automobile?

So let me know what yours appears to be like like. Did you do some exploration into the PC’s again catalog, or did you follow the favored new releases? Was your time unfold throughout a pile of video games, or did you spend all of it with a number of favorites? Did you make it previous Act One in Baldur’s Gate 3?

If you’re fascinated about realizing how a lot time you’ve spent this yr on Steam, there are third-party websites that can dive into your stats. Whereas Steamtime.data will solely let you know your general time, I consider mysteamgauge.com will assist you to drill down additional. I’d verify this, however the web site is kind of unresponsive to me proper now, presumably due to all of the year-end shenanigans occurring proper now.
