Are you ready to face your gaming stats on Steam? End-of-year recaps have become a veritable ritual for many everyday services and platforms. After music streaming applications, it is the turn of the giants of the video game industry to analyze our habits, for better or for worse. PlayStation has already deployed its 2024 Wrap-Up, Xbox has also published its 2024 Year in Review, while Nintendo launched its own recap yesterday. PC gamers were still waiting for Valve to follow suit and it’s now done. The Steam Retrospective is accessible directly from the client’s Store page.
This year, the platform has chosen to make the statistics a little less aggressive and humiliating. Previous times, the total playing time was displayed for everyone to see and could be surprising, especially for bigger players. Rather than transforming our gaming sessions into dizzying temporal data, Steam has chosen to provide percentages and more precise analyzes of our habits. Perhaps you will discover that Balatro has taken up 90% of your playing time this year with an astronomical number of games launched… Which is not necessarily any less astonishing. Please note that it is possible to hide your retrospective from the public if it incriminates you for excessive gaming!
Steam sales are already back
PC players will already be able to prepare their ground for their next retrospective. Barely a few days after the fall sales, promotions are about to invade again with Steam Winter Sale. These should begin today, December 19, 2024, and will last until January 2, 2025. Like every year, Valve hopes that players will spend their money on new titles to devour over the coming months. With a little luck, the Steam Deck will also benefit from a new wave of discounts: enough to take the sale games with you everywhere. Also remember to monitor the stock of refurbished Steam Decks which could be replenished at any time.
While waiting for the launch of the sales this evening, certain releases from early 2025 are already showing advantageous pre-order prices. This is particularly the case for the PC port of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth which has a price of €48.99, compared to €69.99 at launch. Pre-orders of the game also come with some bonuses: a Trio of Mogs summon and protection items. And you, which game do you plan to play first to launch 2025 properly?
