A Deep Dive Into Your Gaming Habits
Steam Replay 2025 provides a comprehensive overview of how players spent their time on the platform. It highlights the total number of games played, including new purchases, demos, and playtests, often comparing this figure to the previous year. Users can see their most-played titles, the number of achievements unlocked, and a month-by-month breakdown of their gaming activity. Additionally, the feature includes statistics on Steam Deck usage and whether the games played were new releases, recent, or classics.
Comparing Your Playstyle
One of the engaging aspects of Steam Replay is the ability to compare personal gaming statistics against the average Steam user. This can reveal surprising differences, such as playing significantly more games than the median or having longer play streaks. For instance, one user noted playing 28 games compared to the Steam median of four, and a streak of 15 days versus the median of six. These comparisons offer a fun perspective on individual gaming habits within the broader Steam community.
Features and Customization
The recap is presented through various visual aids, including graphs and pie charts, making it easy to digest. For privacy-conscious users, playtime spent on private titles is not displayed in public-facing sections. Games played in offline mode are also excluded from the calculations. Users have the option to keep their Replay private, share it with friends via a custom link, or make it public. Furthermore, the entire Steam 2025 Replay can be added as a permanent Showcase to a user’s Steam profile page.
A Collectible Reward
As an incentive to explore their year-end statistics, users who check out their Steam Replay 2025 will receive a collectible badge added to their Steam profile. This adds a small, celebratory element to the data-driven recap, encouraging engagement with the feature. The data used for the 2025 Replay was collected between January 1 and December 14.
