Valve has officially rolled out Steam Replay 2025, its annual retrospective detailing the gaming habits of PC players over the past year. Beyond individual performance metrics, the service sheds light on the broader trends shaping the platform’s massive audience.
According to the Steam Replay 2025 data, users spent an average of 40% of their total playtime on legacy titles released eight or more years ago. This category is dominated by perennial favorites such as Dota 2 and PUBG: Battlegrounds. An additional 44% of playtime was logged in games ranging from one to seven years old.
As a result, brand-new titles launched in 2025 accounted for a relatively small slice of the pie, making up only 14% of the total time spent on the platform.
The report also highlights that the median Steam user engaged with only four different games throughout the year. This suggests that most players gravitate toward a consistent, limited rotation of favorite projects rather than constantly cycling through the latest releases.
Steam Replay 2025 offers a deep dive into input preferences, including mouse-and-keyboard versus controller usage. It also features a dedicated segment for Steam Deck enthusiasts, providing specific data on how they utilized Valve’s handheld hardware.
