For PC gamers, there is nothing more special than their Steam account. Each year, they spend hours playing their favourite titles and there can be no better feeling than looking back at all the games they’ve played all this time. If you can relate to this, here’s some good news. Like every year, Valve has released Steam Replay 2025, its annual year in review feature that gives PC gamers a detailed view of how they spent the past year on Steam. From the games you kept returning to, to the genres you gravitated towards and the devices you used the most, Steam Replay 2025 puts numbers to habits many players only notice in hindsight. It also reflects broader trends across the PC gaming community, showing how players balance new releases with older favourites.

Steam Replay 2025 breaks down your entire year in gaming
Steam Replay 2025 will pull data from January 1 to December 14, 2025, and present it through a scrollable year in review recap. Players can see their most played games, the percentage of total playtime each title accounted for, and how many times each game was launched. It also shows how many different games you played throughout the year, with Valve noting that the average Steam user played four titles in the past 12 months.
The recap goes beyond surface level stats. Steam Replay tracks favourite genres, longest play streaks, demos played, and how your 2025 activity compares with last year. Achievement progress is also included, alongside comparisons with broader Steam user trends to show whether your gaming habits lean casual or committed.
Hardware usage plays a role as well. For Steam Deck owners, Replay shows how much time was spent on the handheld, along with a breakdown of mouse and keyboard use versus controllers. One of the more interesting insights this year focuses on release windows. Valve says 14 percent of total playtime in 2025 went to games released this year, close to 2024’s 15 percent and significantly higher than 2023’s 9 percent. Meanwhile, 44 percent of time was spent on games released between 2018 and 2024, while 40 percent went to titles released before that, driven in part by long running favourites such as Dota 2 and PUBG Battlegrounds.
Those figures add up to 98 percent. Valve has not explained where the remaining 2 percent sits, though it may include demos, unreleased games, or time spent browsing the Steam store and using other platform features.
How to check your Steam Replay 2025 on PC, mobile and Steam Deck
Steam Replay 2025 is available now and can be accessed through a web browser or directly inside the Steam app. On PC or mobile, users need to head to Steam’s homepage and select the “Review your Year on Steam” banner, after which the recap loads and can be scrolled through section by section.
On Steam Deck and other SteamOS handhelds, Replay can be found by pressing the Steam button, opening the Store, navigating to the More tab, and selecting Steam Replay. If the banner does not appear, Valve recommends updating the system software and restarting the device.
Steam Replay does not include offline playtime, so sessions logged without an internet connection will not be reflected in the stats. Once viewed, players can choose to share their Replay publicly or keep it private, and older Replay summaries remain accessible for those curious about how their gaming habits have changed over time.
