I analyzed my Steam gaming history and aggregated the total time spent playing games across different time scales: weekly, monthly, and lifetime totals.
While Steam shows total playtime per game, this visualization focuses on how that time accumulates over longer periods and what it represents when converted into continuous play. In my case, the total adds up to more than 5 months of uninterrupted gameplay.
The goal was to better understand when I play and how much time gaming occupies relative to other parts of my life.
Data source: Steam playtime data
Time span: lifetime account history.

How can I do this analysis? I’ve always been curious what my playing habits were over the past 20 years.
Would love to see this too. My steam account is almost 20 years old. Would be a blast from the past.
For those asking how this was done: I built a small personal tool that pulls playtime data from Steam and aggregates it over time.
If anyone is curious about the process or wants to explore their own data, here’s the link: [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/daily-habit-planner-abletobe/id6737703433](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/daily-habit-planner-abletobe/id6737703433)
