Satisfactory. I'm well past 1,500 hours.

The factory must grow

Where are you people getting all this time from?!

Minecraft easily. The game doesn't record hours but if I were to guess it would be at least 10k hours.

Second most played game has to be Diablo 2. In Diablo 3; I have 350 hours on one character, 200 hours on another, 125 on another and various temp character that I play during seasons and delete probably another 400 hours there. With all that being said about Diablo 3. I've definitely put more hours into Diablo 2. I would guess at least 3000 hours for Diablo 2

Game with the most hours played on Steam is Town of Salem at 750 hours and then Grim Dawn at 360 hours.

According to Steam:

Monster Hunter Rise, 754 hours

Back 4 Blood, 616 hours

Monster Hunter: World, 581 hours

Cyberpunk 2077, 470 hours

Hitman 3, 288 hours

All of these comments have amateur numbers. My most played is wow and over all of my characters its on the order of 500 days.

According to Steam, Arma 3. But I know for a fact that a lot of those hours were not technically in game because I would spent hours upon hours in Notepad++ scripting for my modules while I had the in-game editor running in the background to alt-tab in an test things every now and then.

TF2 is second, and that's all actual play time, baby.

However, in Ultima Online I spent a good 8+ hours a day, every day, from 1997 to 2003. So probably that; I just have no actual counter for the time put in.

Hard to say, I've been on an OpenTTD (since Transport Tycoon), Dwarf Fortress (since .31), Minecraft (since Tekkit) and Factorio (since .11) loop for several decades now, with 1000s of hours in each. I tend to play one at a time, currently doing Enigmatica 6 Expert.

Team Fortress 2, i'm on like 2000 hours, which is rookie numbers really, but i joined during the pandemic so, thats why...

4,167 hours of DOTA 2.

Holy shit. Glad I quit.

About 1200 hours in Destiny 2. My wife and I have about 2000 hours combined in Destiny 2.

I'm afraid to find out how much time I've spent playing League of Legends. Unfortunately the Time Wasted On website only goes back so far, so my stats aren't accurate.

I have so many thousands of hours of rocket league across so many platforms at this point.

Worst part about transferring from console to PC was all my playtime data being lost.

They've reset mine twice before many years ago. I'm sure Minecraft is my top overall. In steam it says Metal Gear Solid 5 is my top but I would leave it running sometimes for the research to finish. Second is Garry's Mod. I played that A LOT when I was younger.

On Steam it's Phantasy Star Online 2 (which I am no longer actively playing.)

Throughout my life it's probably Sonic Robo Blast 2 (a fangame.)

In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That's over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.

The above two I don't regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

Then there are games like Civilization VI (~200 hours), Rimworld (~300 hours), Tropico (~200 hours) and even Path of Exile (~500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

Edit: Added hours!

Haven't checked in a while but I think my personal record is 1400+ hrs in Europa Universalis IV.

An MMO called Mabinogi, but only because it's literally designed to suck as much time and money away from you as possible without you noticing. Steam says I'm nearing 5,000 hours, but more than half my playtime was from before it was on steam, so it's probably closer to 12,000 to 13,000 hours. I haven't even reached the end game yet.

At this point, I don't really play it anymore. I think from now on I need to start avoiding games that are gonna absorb that much of my time for so little progress. Definitely wasn't mentally healthy because I wasn't even enjoying myself a good way in, I was just addicted.

Crudader Kings 2 at 1400 hours and Total War Warhammer II and I at 800 hours

Diablo 2 from launch, I won't even guess the hours because it's over 10k easy and that's just not good. Path of Exile says 4k+ hours as well. I'm an old fart though.

Minecraft. 2.5 kilo hours

totally accurate battle simulator, i have a really strong morbid fascination ngl

Parent here, very badly envious of all y'all's numbers.

(but in my pre-kid days I'm sure I put in at least 300 hours on the pre-Steam version of Dwarf Fortress)

Stellaris

hotline Miami, katana zero, ultra kill.

I’m not a huge gamer, so the 150 hours I spent in Red Dead 2 were quite significant for me. I keep thinking about playing it again, just because it’s kind of a nice world to just ride about in.

Minecraft Factorio EVE: Online Cs:go LoL

Easily 10k hours throughout the Diablo series.

EverQuest 1. Diablo 1,2,and 3. Cities skylines. Forgot about terraria.

World of Warcraft. In RimWorld, I have over 3000 hours logged. World of Warcraft? Conservatively, I would estimate 10,000. I haven't played since 2016, so I can't check, but that's in line with the /played time across several characters.

League of Legends. I don't know how many hours I've put into it but I've been playing since pre-Season 5. This season alone I've played around 600 games. It's depressing.

CS:GO 5000+ hours wasted in my 20s

If we count map editors then most likely C&C: Generals: Zero Hour or ARMA 3.

If we don't could editors then probably Halo 3 or MW2, maybe Stellaris.

My sister has more than 1000+ h in Sims 4

AI (Alien Isolation)

Life.

9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can't play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don't get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it's much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!

I must say, there are a surprising amount of factorio players on this threat, glad to see that!

Definitely Morrowind! The Elder Scrolls III. Oh, I might actually start it back up again at some point.. Maybe one should try the Tamriel Rebuilt mod.

Must be Civ IV - that whole series makes you lose track of time - start a game and that's the whole weekend gone; even now Civ IV with the Realism Invictus mod feels like it's got tonnes of gameplay still left in it for me.

That said, OpenTTD has been an enduring favourite of mine for the past few years and because of its flexibility it might surpass it in the long-term.

DS1 to DS3, I lost count of the hours.

Guild Wars 2; I'm at 6-7k hours or so. Been playing a lot less lately; I'm not sure if that's the recent content, or if it's me getting tired of it. I don't have a ton of objectives I'm interested in completing at this point; some "nice to have"s, but at this point any character or build I could possibly want to play, I have just about everything I need for. Mostly find myself logging in twice a week to do guild night with friends, and that's it.

Otherwise, GTA V, which surprises pretty much everyone I know except the friends I play with. It's just such an easy game to spend hoursblowing each other up or racing around or whatever in; really a fantastic game to play with friends.

Deep Rock Galactic at around 300h

Morrowind, no doubt. I've been playing it for twenty years, there's no telling how many hours I'm up to now across different platforms. Also, ever since I switched to OpenMW Steam stopped tracking my hours so now I really have no clue.

Definitely factorio, but I can't tell you how many hours. I started playing on steam, but then downloaded it from factorio.com and had multiple installs so I could play different mod packs. Steam says 1100 hours, but it's got to be 3 or 4 times that, total. I've played multiple saves that took several hundred hours

I can't believe the amount of time I have spent playing World of Warcraft. I am a recovering addict.
