What is empirically the game you've played most on Steam?
I'm honestly not surprised it's X-COM Enemy Unknown for me. I was such a meticulous player in my first run and it's become a "comfort" game for me. It's one of those games I restart and play for a whole day every once in a while just to enjoy a bit of strategic brain work.
In case you don't know how to sort by playtime, go to your Profile, All Recent Games, then near the top right sort by Playtime.

Ooh! I have a good handful of games in my library, but this one takes the cake:
It's easy to put in hours with a game that constantly updates! My second most played game is a rhythm game at 1,600 hours... Needless to say, FFXIV takes up much of my time comparatively 😆
Now that's a commitment! Lanah Tyra and TheGreatestBanana12 - looks like a fellow Final Fantasy fan has joined the fray!
Hello fellow Warrior of Light!
Glad to know I'm not the most addicted around here XD
Though I started playing originally on PS4 and still log in sometimes from there when I just want to get comfy on the sofa pressing my crafting macros so that might add some extra time to it.
I just dove into the free trial a week or two ago. Been having fun! Thinking about getting the base game soon.
Halo is easily my most played franchise, but I was surprised to see the playtime was so low...then I remembered the Xbox!
Probably CS:Source or Left 4 Dead 2
I’ve not been a PC gamer since before the 2010s tbh
I thought I was playing a lot on Steam and then I saw this thread ahahah!! I will have to share my own screenshot later!
Command and Conquer Red Alert 3
Steam has the most hours logged in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord with 1.116 hours.
Part of that is because it's a great game to play while listening to a podcast or "watching" a video on a second screen.
But it's likely not my most played game.
Do people here remember X-Fire? There was a time when I logged my hours of the original Star Wars: Battlefront II with that...
This makes sense. I played the campaign twice, once on Normal, then a LASO run (Legendary, All Skulls On). Then soo many hours in multiplayer. I haven't played in the past few seasons, but I was all-in for a good amount of time.
My top 4
remedyroses Lanah Tyra greybill CMDR Henckes I feel silly being like "wow 116 hours in ONE game, I should share this" lol
Now you know why do I know so much random stuff about FFXIV. It's been pretty much my life for years and I don't intend to stop 😅
Ironically, That's my small Elite: Dangerous account. Almost 7000 hrs with the Stand alone frontier version.
I have several games with many hours these are the most played except COD which I haven't played for a while
