Roughly 30 000 hours in WoW. I've been playing it since 2005 - mostly active, only a couple of 1-6 month breaks.
Quick approximation - let's just ignore the exact dates:
- 18 years * 365 = 6570 days
- 30000 hours / 6570 days = ~4.57 hours/day
During the last 18 years, I've played an average of 4h 34min of WoW every day.
In other words: if I sleep 8 hours a day, during the last 18 years, I've spent about 28% of my waking hours playing WoW.
While I'm at it: I'm 34 years old. I have spent roughly 10% of my life playing WoW.
jfc lmao
Other MMOs: Guild Wars 1 & 2, FFXIV, are all between 1000-1500 hours each.
Outside of MMOs, the #1 is probably Trackmania (2020) at ~600 hours.
3,545 hrs in Rimworld. Minecraft is probably up there too, but I don't have an exact number. In both cases, I just keep coming back and starting over with a fresh set of mods.
Somehwere between 3000-4000 hours, 23 years of playing persistent worlds on Neverwinter Nights.
Most of that occurred between 2002-2010. It was legit a gaming addiction.
Slay The Spire: 850 hours. I feel like I'll never get bored at a retirement home because I'll just keep playing Slay The Spire. It'll be my mahjong equivalent.
Almost 1000 hours in Rocksmith 2014. Yes, I still suck.
I'd rather not say exactly how many hours, but it's Factorio so... a lot.
Ignoring idle games and MMO's for obvious reasons, ~2k hours in each Factorio and Rimworld, followed by 1k in KSP.
According to my Steam account, it's Satisfactory with 823.4 hours played. Runner up: Team Fortress 2 with 547.5 hours.
I'm not sure that count is accurate for games I've owned a long time like the Half Life series; I KNOW I have more than Steam's claimed 32 hours in Half Life 2, and I absolutely have more time than the 12.1 hours logged in Half Life 1.
I'm kinda curious about certain SNES games like A Link to the Past, which I've played over and over since they were new. I bet I have a thousand hours in at least one SNES game.
Duke Nukem 3D.
Started installing and playing friday afternoon around 4pm, get to the end of the game around 6am next saturday.
14 hours in a row. It was 30 years ago, never again.
14,388.7 hours in Cookie Clicker. 100% achievements in just under two years.
One time as a kid I played a game of Monopoly with my Uncle and cousins that took like 5 hours. I never played Monopoly with them ever again. Don't play Monopoly against a banker, the game quickly becomes way too serious
I have put more hours into Planetside 2 than is even reasonable for how fucking bad I still am at that game.
2,184 hours in Factorio, and possibly more in Minecraft, I just don't have a record.
5,423 in elder scrolls online... In 2 years.
I'm pretty sure I played up a lot more.
2100 Binding of Isaac Rebirth
Probably chess. I have tens of thousands of games on all the separate accounts I use online, not counting over the board games- both casual and tournament. Also game analysis, reading chess books, and watching chess videos.
I have no way of estimating but I'm certain we're in the thousands of hours region.
Literally hundreds or even thousands of hours playing gran turismo games, especially now. I've spent 12 hours on multiple occasions making liveries, not even racing.
497 hours in Satisfactory
After xfire started supporting java games and before it ceased to exist, I clocked in some 2000 hours into Minecraft. I suppose 4000 hours into it isn't an unreasonable estimate.
Elite Dangerous, 1,041 hours.
I played a lot during the lockdowns when they closed everything, even stuff like the ski resorts. It's how I met my SO, we are gonna celebrate our second anniversary soon.
I've moved on to other games, but sometimes I still gotta hop into elite and explore the stars and do some combat in VR. So much fun :)
It ignited my interest in space, seeing some of our wildest stars and the core of our galaxy.
1302.2 hours on DayZ. Havent played since april though. Its a game ill play 30 hours a week until a server reset and then I wont touch it for months.
Destiny 2 and elden ring have been my latest ones though with 469 hours on ER and 365 on destiny 2.
When Super Mario 64 came out, I stayed up all night until about 8 the next morning playing it because I wanted to beat the whole game before going to sleep.
Over 200 hours on Death Stranding. During lockdown it was like therapy. Not into MMOs. Possibly more on other games but that is the one that surprised me most when I saw how long it took to platinum it. And then game+ing it too.
I've got a little over 1,350 hours in Fallout 4, probably that many across Fallout 3 + NV, and gawd knows how many in Minecraft. Nothing record breaking.
4 figures:
-
Skyrim. I don't regret it. It was like escaping into another world and with mods is endlessly varied. Some of the mods were genuinely moving and stuff like The Forgotten City or Enderal are food for the soul.
-
Fallout 4. Don't regret that either. A much needed escape and with mods it's endlessly varied. Also enjoyable building settlements.
-
New Vegas: same as skyrim.
-
Star Trek Online MMO: regret it. It wasn't fun after the first hundred hours, it was like feeding an addiction at a very low point in my life. I returned after many years, and had much the same experience. Doubly sad because Trek has given me so much joy over the years.
-
Of those that are tracked, anyway, for me is Arma 3 with 1500+ hours. It barely beats out TF2 by 2 hours.
Untracked would probably be Ultima Online. I played that game for over a decade.
Gotta be runescape 3, osrs is only at 30 days and I played rs3 significantly more. Csgo and lol are both over 1300 hours though, and if minecraft listed it's hours that'd probably be well north of 30k hours
1000+ hours, Port Royal 2, over the last 6+ years. I just love expanding my trade empire.
Guild Wars. When i was younger it was my life, played almost 18 hours everyday for years. Then less when the game become outdated in 2012 with Guild Wars 2 drop. Played second game too but didn't last more that two years. Probably in 12 years I have 25.000 hours totally from both games. Now I'm playing something else but with so much less enthusiasm, and actually I am about to drop any game to looking forward to the real life.
Over 5000 on Battletech (2018)...very active mod community, has several complete overhauls to make the game an almost new experiance
I have like 10000 hours into Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 i guess between 7000 and 8000.
Also have lots of hours into counter strike, don't know how much but it's also a lot.
Thousands upon thousands of hours in Civilization games through out the years. Hundreds in Minecraft and Terraria also.
Oh, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Another game with hundreds of hours in.
Hearthstone for me. I don't know the hours, but I've been playing since it launched, and I'm close to having 1000 ranked wins on all classes (Death Knight still needs a lot) and I'm not even that good, so I've lost even more.
Add in messing around with Battlegrounds, Tavern Brawls, and ugh, Mercenaries on top of that.
I can't even imagine how many hours that was.
I remember being amazed when I hit 100 hours in Final Fantasy VII, thinking that a game could never match it. Then I put 12,000 hours into World of Warcraft over about 12 years, so I guess I lacked imagination. I don't think in the rest of my life I will ever be able to beat that with a single game.
3000 hours in counter strike and in minecraft it gotta be over 5000 hours, but there is no way to check
No Man's Sky.. 661 hours in steam, and I had quite in on PS4 before I got a decent GPU.
Fuck that's a lot of time.
As of today, 1,710 hours in destiny 2
EverQuest. I damn near flunked high school from all the binge sessions. The last time I logged in it was well over a year /played. Waiting on random spawn timers was wild.
I’ve never really been more than a casual gamer. However, my answer is probably RuneScape. I had a pretty heavy run of it in like 2004.
I wonder if my account is still out there somehow
Definitely the original diablo 2. I played that game every single day for hours after school, without having actual data. Second would probably be cs:source without actual data because I played it before steam tracked it. Third would be slay the spire that clocks in at 600. Then rimworld at like 400ish.
Oblivion is somewhere in there too likely
Borderlands 2, thanks to boss farming. Not recommended, but the play itself isn't terrible. Also this is the funny one.
Terraria Strongly recommended. My very first survival / base builder, which is what I primarily play.
Deep Rock Galactic Also recommended, a four-player dwarf-sim + mining + shooting with tons of procedural to keep it interesting. There are a few (mostly pretty) vanity DLCs which I got just to throw money at the devs. This is my staple.
5 Thousand Hours in Warframe, by it's official metric (for that the game counts actual Second to Second Gameplay, not AFK-ing in Menus or just logged in) which should roughly translate to at least the Triple with the game just opened (as Steam would track it) The fun part is, im liekly a shrimp compared to Bigger fish on my pond
1500+ hours in Planetside 2 I think
1505 hours of Old School RuneScape since 2019.
Probably 900 hours in Rainbow Six Siege over the course of 3-4 years.
I haven't touched it in years, but I have over a full year /played across all my old wow characters.
My TF2 played hours is something like 3990, but that's misleading as a lot of that was idling on trade servers, or the game client not closing properly and Steam reporting I was still ingame for hours afterwards.
There's probably 3-4 games I've legit broken 1k hours in.
CS:GO, ~1500 hours
I've played eve online for well over fifteen years. I couldn't tell you the hours accumulated over that time.
I have about 1,400 in dead by daylight. That still isn't even enough to be considered good either.
Uncounted would have to be Minecraft. Well over 2000 hours, but no clue how much exactly.
Counted it Noita with 600. Love that game.
404 in Stellaris...
A few thousand on The Last Of Us, between PS3, PS4, and PS5. Such a good game.
It's hard to tell exactly, because I've got a lot of time logged across multiple platforms, but I've got somewhere around 3500-4000 hours logged into Destiny 2 at this point.
It's my favorite game, and I hate it.
Fallout 4's got about 325 hours on it, which is a lot for me because I hop around games a lot. However, I think it could be beat out if I knew my true numbers for Fallout 3 back when I pirated it before I got it on Steam, but they're probably both beat by World of Warcraft back in the day, I played up until after WotLK and I have no true idea how many hours I spent there.
Probably Gary's Mod. I haven't played it in years but as a poor kid I loved it. I can't recall the exact amount but it was a couple thousand.
The Civ games and Fallout NV probably follow it
I have no idea how many hours I put into WoW or SWTOR back in the day when I was playing them. For now, I've got 2,176 hours logged in Battletech.
~1800 hours? Counterstrike GO
any idle game
3,237.5 hours, Star Trek Online. I recently started playing again after a 9-year hiatus, so about 2,900 of those hours are from like a decade ago.
Btw (shameless plug), we're trying to get a STO community up and running in the verse: https://kbin.social/m/sto. Any other captains around here, feel free to drop by!
I have undoubtedly put hundreds (if not thousands) of hours into Tetris Attack over the years.
Over 12,000 hours in ESO.
Look I just want to ogle at hot Argonian hunks.
Probably Donkey Kong Country 2. I can blaze through the game in a couple of hours and have done so a few times a week each week for about twenty years as just a fallback when I've got nothing else to do. Before that I used to play it just as much, but no idea how frequently - too long ago.
I've been playing it since 1995. I had a lot more free time back then too. So uh, maybe a good few tens of thousand hours at least? Impossible to say.
Guild Wars 1 with about 5k hours (i would need to look up the exact number)
Time: All my life Game: Life
615 hours in gta v, mostly gtao though.
4500 in CSGO in 9 years and I'm not planning to stop any time soon.
Cell to Singularity, 6500 hours and counting. In fairness, I don't actively play it most of the time it just runs in the background churning away.
In order, I think: Civ, Minecraft, rocket league, no man's sky, Skyrim, missile command, Mario kart, Mario 64, ocarina of time
It's 2000+ hours in civilization 6
Have about 2000 in Quake Champions now, easily my all time favourite shooter, def try it out if you like movement-heavy shooters
755 hours in Total War: Warhammer 2.
I never counted but the amount of house I have in diablo 2 + lod and d2r is obscene. I couldn’t even guess. Csgo I have 1005 hours.
around 2500 hrs in Smash Ultimate
yeah I still suck lol
2200 hours, Warframe
Towerfall Ascension is the game my best friends and I got good at while playing to unwind. I have something like 1100 hours on steam. We've also played on Switch, other steam copies and ps4. The number could be as high as 2000 hours.
This is a long time ago and the battery on the cart is probably dead so can't check. I remember thinking how it's over 10 days, so maybe 250 hours, game is Pokemon Silver.
I think I passed 300 in Frostpunk, maybe 400? I'm away from my PC so I can't be sure.
On a non-MMO/non-online play game - 127 in AC: Odyssey
On a MMO/online play game- 3200 in Destiny 2
~450hrs in Overwatch 1
MMOs are a different class. Thousands in WoW. Second most of Chivalry: medieval warfare at about 1400 but I played that competitively.
