PayPalSteam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases
Valve have released Steam Replay for 2025, showing off some interesting stats about your gaming and how it stacks up against everyone on Steam.
Interestingly, this year they note that only 14% of gaming was "spent by all Steam users in new releases (games released in 2025)". That's actually down a single digit percentage from last year, but continues to show that with the onslaught of over 19,000 games from 2025 that a lot of people continue playing through their older games. According to the stats 44% of playtime from all Steam users were for releases from the last 1-7 years, and 40% playtime from all Steam users was spent on releases from 8 or more years ago.
Valve's stats don't include time spent in offline mode or when you're without internet.
Mine has been quite skewed back to Desktop Linux due to ARC Raiders, Dune: Awakening, and Overwatch 2.
What did you spend the most time on across 2025?
Check out your own on Steam Replay.

I have 95% on Linux and 5% on SteamDeck. Notably, I also played some hours through GFN, both on PC and SD, I wonder if they filtered it out or if they are now able to tell the device behind the GFN, because I know for sure it counted as playing on Windows in the past.

Quoting: pbI have 95% on Linux and 5% on SteamDeck. Notably, I also played some hours through GFN, both on PC and SD, I wonder if they filtered it out or if they are now able to tell the device behind the GFN, because I know for sure it counted as playing on Windows in the past.I don't have that stat on mine. How do I get the that? Do some users just not have it? Are "Here are a few of your highlights..." random?
More than likely though I'm missing an obvious button right?
(EDIT: as suspected, I was in fact missing that the page was taking while to load and I could then scroll further down).

I have playtime 60% Linux, 32% Steam Deck and 9% Windows. The shame of 9% windows. Also yes, I know that adds up to 101%, that's Valve's maths not mine. I'm taking the extra 1% from the Windows part to reduce shame.

If anybody interested - my replay is [here](https://store.steampowered.com/replay/76561197997786835/2025).
In short - 16% in 2025 releases, Top 5 most played games are Hearts of Iron IV, Europa Universalis IV, Underrail, Stellaris & Gothic 1.

89% linux 11% deck is my breakdown.
For me it sucks because the ASSTASTIC star wars outlaws garbage launcher would get stuck open after you exited the game, and steam would still think the game was running when it wasn't. So it logged like a billion sw outlaws hours and has that as my number 1 game even when I only played a tiny bit of it and didn't like it at all. Bleh.
My REAL number 1 played game was Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon. SOOOO GOOD. Absolutely loved it. It deserves that number 1 spot!

Leaving mine [here](https://s.team/y25/hcwfwcf?l=english). My first year with 0% windows. 46% new releases. Baldur's Gate 3 is my most played game, and I guess it will be my most played game in 2026 😆

Had I taken the earlier Replays, I would be 0% Windows since 2015. There should be a badge.

Making this an absolutely pointless feature for me, since ALL of my gaming is done offline with no Internet.
