Probably Animal Crossing New Horizons with like 450hrs

I get bored so quickly of games, I don’t understand how some people manage to put several hundreds of hours in most games they play

My top nine, according to steam

Most are so high because I lucked into finding a group of players I could really hang with.

I haven't played in a long time but EU4. I had thousands of hours of playtime after about ten years.

GTA Online is my most-played game according to Steam, but that time is largely skewed from how rough the game was upon its original launch. Rather than put up with nearly hour-long loading times whenever I wanted to play, I used to simply leave the game running overnight. And as a result, I've got a few thousand hours in that game.

Project Zomboid is a distant second according to playtime, currently around 900 hours, but I think I'm catching up to it in terms of time I've spent actually playing the game.

Something about sandboxes with cars and guns that just scratches a certain itch for me.

I've also got at least a few hundred hours on iRacing, but because I haven't linked that to my Steam account, I don't know the exact amount of time. And I'm not going to look back through my race history to add up every minute of virtual track time.

KSP, for sure.

1800 hours and counting on Path of Exile. With how major game updates are scheduled, either I'm sitting it out for months or it's all I play, depending on if the expansion interests me. This pattern has been going on since I joined the open beta in 2013.

The large variety of builds, extremely vast endgame, and very high power ceiling means that there's always more stuff to play and more improvements you can make.

Well the top contender for me is FFXI by a mile. But naming an MMO in a thread like this almost feels like cheating.

My next game after that would be Hades 1 with 421 hours.

Definitely one of the Guitar Heros

I've put in 100s of hours on RDR2 and Elden Ring, but my newest game would probably be Ball X Pitt

WoW, it'll never be close.

But more recently, Rimworld, Deep Rock Galactic, Golf With Your Friends, Sea of Thieves, the Witcher.

I only have the numbers for games from Steam, so my actual longest played game is probably the old version of Dwarf Fortress. I also typically don't have the attention span to keep playing a single game for hundreds of hours so the longest I see in my Steam library is just under 200 hours. Aether Way would actually be higher in the list because I played an earlier version of it before it came to Steam.

New Vegas is around 470 for me. FO4 is a close second at 460. But I probably spent way, way more time in Battlezone 2, possibly MechWarrior 3 as well. Maybe Rollercoaster Tycoon. Those were in my peak gaming era.

Probably WoW or LoL. I don't play either of those anymore and probably never will again, but I doubt any game I play would ever come close again.

According to Steam:

1. Modern Warfare 2 OG, not remaster - 411
2. Dragon Age Origins - 245. Makes sense considering how many times I restarted lol
3. Baldur’s Gate III - 215. Pretty sure that's mostly one playthrough.
4. Trails of Cold Steel III - 178. Holy fuck is this game long! I'm only just now in the finale.
5. Slay the Spire - 169. That's way off though for sure. I have it on Steam, mobile, and Switch.
6. Elden Ring - 153
7. Persona 5 Royal - 136. I was not prepared for how long this game is.
8. Divinity Original Sin - 127. I restarted a lot.
9. Path of Exile - 116
10. And of course, Skyrim. 105, but I've never actually finished it even once.

Probably FIFA but I haven't played in years.

I have over 1000 hours in Skyrim, but thats also over steam, PS4, and switch. Still haven’t finished the game but I've got like 6 different characters lol. I just hit 109 hours in BG3 last night, stuck on the couch with a bum leg helped with that! I only just started act 2 last night as well. AC Valhalla/origins/odyssey probably has close to 500 hours, with witcher 3 getting up there too. Not sure on those though since they're on PS4. Valhalla is the only game I've actually finished, ever.

I like to wander and do the side quests, see every bit of the map, sort and sell my stuff. I don’t play a lot so when i do get to sit down and play I like to immerse myself in the setting.

Thousand of hours in Clan Lord. It got me through some rough teenage years.

Minecraft, Fallout 4, Skyrim, probably Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 in my younger years

Measured, it would be CoD MW2 (the original) with over 30 days, played across 2 years

Unmeasured, easily Championship Manager (later changed to Football Manager). In one year I'd over 40 days but I was still in school back then. If I added up all the years together it would be an unbelievable number. I played it pretty much daily from about 1997 until 2004. Then picked up Football Manager from around 2005 until 2008 (I stopped as online FPS took over)

Latest version I have played is FM2022 but barely played the more recent ones in comparison to the older versions. I still play the old one from time to time, thanks to Nicks Patcher

Probably League of Legends or Minecraft. Most played with hours tracked is Counter-Strike

I have maybe more hours in WoW, but I cannot see my playtime without installing it again.

DayZ 2750 hours. I'm still rubbish.

Slay the Spire without doubt 2.5k on steam plus some switch and mobile.

If you group the Trackmania games those do come close, and maybe Minecraft but I have barely touched that game in the last decade and no way to check hours from back then.

Black Desert Online unfortunately, I have over 5k active hours and was truly addicted during a bad time in my life. After that Kerbal Space Program which I have far fewer regrets over, probably my favourite game of all time, I’m still mad about ksp2

Probably still MW2 2011 I think I had a total of 50d playtime across both of my accounts lol.

3k+ hours in d2 before ps5 dropped only added maybe 100 hours before bungie made me hang it up

Multiple 999:99 timers in pokemon since red and blue

There's no way for me to time it out because I got it before Steam existed, but it has to be in the thousands of hours range. SimCity 4. I got the Deluxe Edition just after the Rush Hour expansion came out. Played it everyday for hours on end from then to college. Just over 12 years time. I didn't stop until Cities Skylines 1 came out. I put 500 hours into that then dropped off because it's just not the same.

It's the one game that nobody has ever truly replicated. There's attempts and successors out there, but none of them hit like SC4 did. The aesthetics, modding community, music, all make that game so fresh yet nostalgic. It really had everything you could want from a modern City Building game. It was so much more than a city painter too. The advisors, policies, taxation, abandoned buildings, all of it conveyed a living city way beyond imaginable. Every attempt of a modern city builder game is missing the soul that SC4 had.
