I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.

Satisfactory. I'm well past 1,500 hours.

The factory must grow

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The factory building genre is way to addictive, I only have like 200 hours as of now in satisfactory, but I must say Spaghetti bases on satisfactory are a work of art

In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That's over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.

The above two I don't regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

Then there are games like Civilization VI (~200 hours), Rimworld (~300 hours), Tropico (~200 hours) and even Path of Exile (~500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

Edit: Added hours!

Another WoW addict checking in. I was somewhere north of 12,000 hours from release to the end of Wrath with another stint during Classic.

I've since quit with no intention of ever returning. Despite how much I loved the game it doesn't love me back, and it's better if I don't play at all.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!

[โ€“] aloeha 5 points 1 year ago

It's undoubtedly WoW for me too, but I don't know how many hours. I wish there was a way to check without re-subscribing.

If it ever gets added to Xbox Game Pass I'll probably give it another whirl.

Rocket league.. 4500 hours.. only a diamond 2

[โ€“] Gerryflap 7 points 1 year ago

Also Rocket League. I've got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can't do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.

Where are you people getting all this time from?!

[โ€“] protist 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

20 years ago before I had a wife, a child, pets, or a mortgage and when I had a simple job, I would destroy weeks at a time with some Final Fantasy 8. Logged obscene hours, unlocked every secret and beat every minigame, more than once. There's just no time in my life now for a game requiring that kind of time commitment, but there's always the memories

Factorio - 364h on steam and god only know how many outside Planetary Annihilation: Titans - 332h BeatSaber - 230h

But compared to other gamers ...

Parent here, very badly envious of all y'all's numbers.

(but in my pre-kid days I'm sure I put in at least 300 hours on the pre-Steam version of Dwarf Fortress)

Minecraft. I don't know how many hours, but I bought it before nether portals were a thing and I've been playing it ever since. Sometimes a game just clicks for you.

[โ€“] Wolf_359 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What do you even have left to do in Minecraft at this point? Not asking to be rude, but as an ADHD guy I actually can't imagine playing a game that much!

I probably spent the most time in Red Dead Redemption 2 or ARK, but that's because I went for 100% completion and there were always things to do for me. Once I completed the games (about 400 hours each), I was over it.

[โ€“] spittingimage 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Modpacks. There are hundreds. And probably tens of thousands of mods. You can easily make your own modpacks nowadays, using a launcher and config editor.

It's been so long since I've played the vanilla version, I haven't seen any content from the last few updates. I've started a vanilla world just to explore them.

Definitely factorio, but I can't tell you how many hours. I started playing on steam, but then downloaded it from factorio.com and had multiple installs so I could play different mod packs. Steam says 1100 hours, but it's got to be 3 or 4 times that, total. I've played multiple saves that took several hundred hours

World Of Warcraft. I stopped looking at /played once I passed 5000 hours and that was during WoTLK, I'm gonna take a guess and say i would have ended up between 12-13k hours. Just stopped playing one day about 4 years ago and have had no interest in logging back in for some reason.. just weird I'd had enough.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

All of these comments have amateur numbers. My most played is wow and over all of my characters its on the order of 500 days.

Europa Universalis 4. Actually most Paradox games.

Minecraft easily. The game doesn't record hours but if I were to guess it would be at least 10k hours.

Second most played game has to be Diablo 2. In Diablo 3; I have 350 hours on one character, 200 hours on another, 125 on another and various temp character that I play during seasons and delete probably another 400 hours there. With all that being said about Diablo 3. I've definitely put more hours into Diablo 2. I would guess at least 3000 hours for Diablo 2

Game with the most hours played on Steam is Town of Salem at 750 hours and then Grim Dawn at 360 hours.

[โ€“] EnmaAi22 7 points 1 year ago

The game with most hours has to be Minecraft. I don't know the exact amount but it has to be at around 4000 hours.

Second is CSGO with 3600 hours

Third is league of legends with around 3000 hours

Followed by Gmod with 900 hours

Fortnite with 600 hours

Fall guys with 500 hours

And after that it doesn't really make sense to list them

I was very addicted to gaming in my youth .

[โ€“] The_Jit 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And here I was thinking my 360+ hours in BoTW was excessive....

Eve online probably well over 15k hours logged actual playtime closer to 10k lots of idle time. Still the most fun I've had in a game and has helped me be more comfortable talking to strangers and lead people IRL

Factorio

Reaching 1000hours and barely scratching the surface

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Must be Civ IV - that whole series makes you lose track of time - start a game and that's the whole weekend gone; even now Civ IV with the Realism Invictus mod feels like it's got tonnes of gameplay still left in it for me.

That said, OpenTTD has been an enduring favourite of mine for the past few years and because of its flexibility it might surpass it in the long-term.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

OpenTTD FTW

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I can't believe the amount of time I have spent playing World of Warcraft. I am a recovering addict.

[โ€“] rustyfish 7 points 1 year ago

Roughly 2.000 hours in Terraria. But Factorio is quickly catching on.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've got nearly 800 hours into Cyberpunk2077.
It'll probably be my goto game until its sequel comes put in a decade or so.

8k hours in Minecraft, 1.4k hours in City Skylines, about 1.2k of those in one city. ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] RedBike23 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

About 11k hours of EverQuest, 1999-2005. (I still consider it the best time of my life, too.)

Satisfactory with 752 hours. No mods, either. Most recently is Project Zomboid with ~123 hours.

2000+ hours in the original KSP. Still play it occasionally. Tried KSP2. When the itch strikes again, I'll be back in KSP1.

Slay the Spire 187 hrs and counting. No where near the time I see others have put into single games.

According to Steam, Arma 3. But I know for a fact that a lot of those hours were not technically in game because I would spent hours upon hours in Notepad++ scripting for my modules while I had the in-game editor running in the background to alt-tab in an test things every now and then.

TF2 is second, and that's all actual play time, baby.

However, in Ultima Online I spent a good 8+ hours a day, every day, from 1997 to 2003. So probably that; I just have no actual counter for the time put in.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have so many thousands of hours of rocket league across so many platforms at this point.

Worst part about transferring from console to PC was all my playtime data being lost.
