Usually TF2 is up here too depending on the seasonal update rotation.
I actually played a fuck ton of new games and early access beta tests this year (34% of all playtime according to steam replay)
And that’s a biased statistic. My recap shows I spent 1% of my time playing games released in 2024 when I know, for a fact, that I didn’t. Upon further investigation, I found that it was counting my play time in Palworld as 1% even though it still shows as “0 minutes” because I literally only opened it to check that it worked.
Seems reasonable to me. What percentage of games on steam have been released in 2024? Gotta be a smoll percentage. Actually, 15 percent seems pretty high now that you mention.
“A whooping 15 percent” seems like a better title.
Factory gamers were eating good this year.
