Every December, Steam gives players a clear look at how their year actually played out on the platform. Steam Replay 2025 is Valve’s official year-in-review feature, breaking down your playtime, habits, and highlights from across the year. If you want to see your stats, earn the profile badge, or share your recap with friends, here’s a complete and easy guide.
Steam Replay 2025 is a personalized recap of your activity on Steam throughout the year. Much like other yearly recaps, it pulls together your gameplay data and presents it in a visual, easy-to-scan format.
Your replay typically includes:
- Your most-played games of the year
- Total hours played and monthly breakdowns
- Longest play streaks and activity trends
- Achievement and gameplay highlights
- A shareable summary and a Steam profile badge
Steam Replay only tracks online playtime. Any games played offline or marked as private in your settings will not appear in the recap .
When Steam Replay 2025 Counts Your Playtime
Steam Replay covers gameplay recorded between January 1, 2025, and the last seconds of December 14, 2025. Any playtime outside this window is not included, even if you continue playing later in December.
