If Minecraft counted playtime, over 1000 hours. Otherwise, Stardew Valley at about 500 hours.

Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild.

Definitely Skyrim, across multiple editions and platforms. And I’m proud to say I never sank into the stealth-archer habit. Armored mage FTW muthafucka!

My top two are Dota 2 (1520h) and CS 2 (800h), but since I have quit competitive games, I'll mention the third place: I have 598 hours on Fallout 4.

As huge of a gamer as I am (or was?) I am sad to say I never expected this in a million years, but its by far Fall Guys... been playing it since its 2020 release basically every day or every other day since with maybe only a few weeks missed when times were busy. The appeal? It's super simple, fun, and a great game to play with friends. At the beginning we had like 12 people playing this for a solid year. Fell to about 8 people on and off for the next few years, and the last few years I still got about 5 people who play. On average we will have 3 of us per night playing for an hour to 2 hours. It's not even fully about the game, it's an excuse to relax and talk to friends which is easier to do with a game that doesnt require strategy or communication. Either way my end of year highlights show its been my #1 played game every year with about 400 to 500 hours a year just in that game. We have tried to find something new, but it's just never the same.

Steam has Train Valley 2 as my most hours by far (3544). But a lot of those hours are from minimizing the game, and leaving it running overnight, so probably closer to 2000 hours.

This is mostly due to the Steam Workshop / community maps, as there are hundreds of them and new ones get added constantly, so it's a great game that I can play quick sessions while watching something on TV at night, or eating lunch at my desk.

Red Dead 2 has 2400+, but 2200 of that is on Xbox, and it's the main thing I play on Xbox, so I'm not sure if that's actual gameplay time, or just "game running but just sitting at the main menu" time (which would be a lot of hours).

Oxygen Not Included is over 600 hours, and I haven't even added any DLC, so I see that getting a bunch more hours when I have time.

Either Quake or DayZ... Possibly TF2...

Monster Hunter, easily. I've been playing since Dos.

No idea. Homm2. Homm3. Disciples 2. Age of Empires. Age of Mythology. Warcraft2/3. Mu online. WoW. Counter-Strike. Rift. Warframe. Neverwinter. Star Trek Online. Apex Legends.

I played them a lot. At least 1k hours each across the years. Why? Some were fun, some were what my friends played and some were addictive.
A game sometimes clicks, not always for the right reasons.

Destiny and Destiny 2, although Binding of Isaac is a distant 2nd (or 3rd).

I think the game with the highest playtime for me is Final Fantasy XIV with around 1,2k hours. That's only Steam though, I'm sure Minecraft is way, way higher than that.

It's either Elite Dangerous or Warframe.

*checks* uhhhh... Elite Dangerous.

1935 hours, and we played a while outside of Steam running the launcher directly, so let's call it 2000 hours. Elite itself also tracks hours played (in a weird "weeks/days/hours" format for some reason), but we'd have to actually open it and log in and everything to find out.

-- Frost

I don't do multiplayer games, so Elden Ring I think is at the top for me at around 200 hours. Although, if you looked on Playstation it would probably be one of the Spider-Man games because my kids use my account to just play them as a sandbox.

It's WoW. I don't even want to know how much WoW I've played.

Probably WoW or LoL, but I'm not going to login to either to check because I switched to Linux and have been boycotting blizzard for over a decade.

It could be WoW, it could be LoL it could be Genshin Impact. The only one that's tracked it ~1050hrs in Warframe but I really doubt its beating any of the above three.

runescape more than i like to admit. before the eoc/falador protest i played sparingly, because of school. then around 2018, i started playing during an event then found i could make more gp by selling form the shops to ge, which help funded bonds, and i did it for severalyears til i got burnt out from rs, and i only play it sparingly. i am a casual bosser, im not good at fighting the harder ones with too much complexity/movements.

i know people dint like TH/mtx, they couldve just got rid of the xp lamps/stars that were causing the problems. rs threw a fit and removed everything like minor daillyscapes.

4k hours on Geometry Dash. It's very addicting to play and or beat the community's hardest levels.

SimTower. I have spent too much time there

I don't get much screen time - work and other hobbies - but I've somehow got over 300 hours in cyberpunk. Also, I'm fairly new to it at the mo, but I could see myself putting a lot of hours into mewgenics.

Morrowind, Skyrim, Minecraft and Final Fantasy Tactics (different modded PS1 Versions mostly) must be the games with the most hours for me. I must have 1000+ hours in each of those, well maybe only 600ish in Tactics.

I would think probably Diablo 2 over the course of my childhood, although it's hard to tell. It might be EVE Online, I was very much into that for a few years between 2010-2015 or so. And it's not exactly a game you play casually, or at least I didn't. Over the last decade it's probably been Football Manager. 17 is the iteration I have the most hours in but I probably have a thousand hours combined across multiple editions across the last ten years.

EDIT: I actually managed to exorcise Dota from my memory, probably because of all the accumulated misery it has accrued. Yeah, that's the one. Easily the most hours combined over Dota 1&2.

Super Mecha Champions, when the servers were still online. Such a fun game, genuinely fun gameplay.

Second place is either Stellaris, Helldivers 2, or Halo CE.

God of war

Probably LoL or Rocket League. LoL keeps getting worse tho barely any play time recently. GunZ the duel had a lot of playtime back in the day and came back recently in my heart. fgunz.net

Dont have the information to hand, but Rappelz (f2p MMO that may or may not still exist), Halo (if a whole series counts) and Slay the Spire are all contenders for the top spot.

mmmm. I mean that would be tough. When I was doing mmo's I would be logging in in the morning and evening doing event grinds plus taking time to play more extensively and I did that for years. I take forever to play games though so I put in plenty with cyberpunk and elden ring and final fantasy and baldurs gate. oh and that harry potter. You know though it has to be the mmos because again that was like years and really it was a rare day I did not at least log in to touch base on some sort of grind thing. So either champions online or star trek online.

Maplestory, even though I haven't played it in a decade or so.

More recently, it would be Anno 1800.
