Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases

  Honestly with that small of a sample size those numbers could mean anything.

  Wed need to know things like:

  • How many hours worth of new game content was released (maybe there were only enough new games to make up 20% of playtime)
  • How mich do Games as a Service impact things (they get new content, but aren’t “new” games)
  • Are people playing games more or less (people could be playing new games the same amount, but increasing the amount of hours playing old games)

  A small sample of averages is really hard to interpret.
