DayZ, I have around 3000 hours in it.

My list of multiple hundreds/thousands of hours include, in no particular order;
- Minecraft (unknown, been playing since browser alpha demo)
- Skyrim (600)
- Rocket League (4000)
- Fall Guys (1500)
- Stardew Valley (unknown, play multiple saves a year on different platforms)
- Vampire Survivors (400)
- No Man’s Sky (1200)
Everquest by far. Then League. Then Diablo 2. I dont think theres any game that comes close to the total unrecorded amount of hours those 3 games have.
The X3 games (Reunion/Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude) would be one game with DLC today, combined they're my only 1000hr+ game. X4 is one game with DLC and is well on it's way to that record.
As much as Monster Hunter is my favorite series of all time, and I have about 1600 hours combined total over several games, it's still not caught up to my total of over 2000 hours in Warframe. Love that game to bits but yeah I think I played it enough.
Most other games I play, that I played a lot, hover between 100 and 300 hours each.
Fallout 4 and Skyrim
Final Fantasy XI and it's not even close.
Heyyyy, high five! I’m not sure what my XI playtime is at offhand but I know it could be measured in years.
When I was a teen I played WoW from vanilla through Cata... Had over a full year of in game /played time on just my main.
...and I made a lot of alts.
100% full-blown addicted.
Blizzard is actually the one example of enshittification that I can actually be thankful for - I didn't really ever quit; they just stopped supplying my drug of choice. They definitely had the power to keep me enthralled, but instead shifted to a younger and younger target audience as I was ofc aging the opposite direction.
The Kung-Fu-Panda xpac trailer was finally my cue to accept that my dealer wasn't going to provide that fix anymore.
Then I ~~started making healthy life decisions~~ discovered Ark >_<
Edit - ...Ark owned my life for a bit, too:
2000 hours in Garry's Mod, 1300 in TF2. Third place is way behind, Hollow Knight at 180.
Steam says my top 3, in order, are ARMA3 (though more than half of that has to be with the game minimized as I work on scripts for mods), Team Fortress 2, and Rocket League. All have over 2000 hours, Arma 3 has slightly over 3k.
However, from 1997 to 2007 (literally haven't played it since The Orange Box released), I was playing Ultima Online for at least 8 hours a day, every day. So if that kept track of my play time, it would likely be numero uno. Diablo 2 and EverQuest would be right behind it.
Minecraft
Stardew Valley, Skyrim, and Halo 3 probably top my list. I dumped like 400 hours into Stardew during Covid lockdowns and a few hundred more after
SteamDB says Rimworld, but I'm almost certain it's actually Fallout: NV, as the Nexus launcher at one point bypassed Steam and so those hours aren't represented. I have about 1100 hours in Rimworld, but probably closer to 3000 in Fallouts 3 and NV.
Lol I somehow completely forgot about Guild Wars 2. Pretty sure my age in that game is over 2 years of active playtime.
For me it has to be either the binding of isaac or noita. It's hard to say since i played tboi on so many devices before i got a PC.
The game in my Steam library with the most hours played is.....PAYDAY 2.
But I didn't actually play a thousand hours of it. In the late 2010s, the heat in my condo barely worked and our self-managed association refused to acknowledge it because "nobody else [was] having problems with their heat." I had all the windows plasticed up with heavy blankets literally nailed to the wall. I had to abandon the living room and bedroom entirely. I emptied the smallest room (12x10) and moved my mattress and desk in there...In addition to the playpen for my two rabbits that took up the rest of the free space.
You might be wondering what that has to do with PAYDAY 2. Well....the game revved up my video card to max on the main menu so my PC became a supplementary heat source at night...
Good times. Thanks, PAYDAY devs!
ETA: In the spring, the guy who handled yardwork noticed the flowerbed was kind of sinking on one side of the building. That's when they discovered a leak in the radiator line...small enough that 11 units didn't notice but big enough for the water pressure to not reach the farthest unit from the boiler....the unit I owned...
Aren't space heaters pretty cheap? Probably didn't need to add wear and tear to your GPU.
Old School RuneScape, Gran Turismo 5 & 7, The Crew 1, 2 & Motorfest and I think Midtown Madness 1 & 2 are also high on my list of most played games.
The most that I have proof of is Europa Universalis IV at a little over 1k hours, but I wouldn't be surprised if my time on Guitar Hero 3 in high school surpassed that by quite a bit. I played a lot of Guitar Hero in high school...
I'm not sure if it's wow or League.
I played League for 10 years but in my adult phase, while wow was mostly while studying so a lot more hours to burn.
I have 3,400 hours in Space Engineers.
About 1,500 hours in FFXIV, 1,400 hours in DayZ, and 1,300 hours in 7 Days To Die.
Then 900 hours in Empyrion Galactic Survival, 500 hours in Baldurs Gate 3, and 300 hours in Fallout 4.
The rest are well below 200.
steam says I played Fallout 4 for 436 hours, but that seems very high. not sure if that count is accurate.
Dota 2 around 3500 hours. Rust 1100 hours. Monster Hunter World 400 hours. Binding of Isaac 350 hours.
Persona 5 Royal
150 hrs and I'm almost done with it
I've just about got 2,000 hours in Warframe. I tend to play a lot of different games so it's hard to get big numbers in any one game.
Kerbal Space program (1800.8) DCS world (1172.2) Witcher 3 (1131.5) Sims 4 (838.2) Stardew Valley (579.3)
I just wish ksp2 wasn’t a massive flop and I eagerly await KSA.
No hard numbers here, but probably Medieval 2: Total War.
Every few months I get the urge to play and log more hours doing a few campaigns.
Skyrim over 2000 hours easily, 400 some into Assassins Creed Odyssey and Ghost Recon Wildlands; I have no idea how many I put into Vindictus, which is an MMORPG I played for more than a decade. For phone games I’ve probably put the most time into the Kingdom Rush series, best TD out there.
the binding of isaac: rebirth. steam claims ~800 hours, but with the time I played offline, its probably closer to 1300-1400
I finally picked up Repentance after putting around 300 hours into Antibirth. I'm completely addicted again. Jacob & Esau is such a struggle for me
Final Fantasy 6, because I have played through it on SNES, PS1, Rom, then SNES again.... oh, and there's 500 hours in Slay The Spire. Maybe also Civ 3.
Civ all games and Apex legends with like 6k or more hours.
Apex is from day 1 launch day.
Stardew Valley and Core Keeper ;)
WoW, CS 1.6, Warframe, and ARK
I think something like 5k hours into Warframe, 15 years into WoW (at least 2 of my characters have 1+ year of playtime--so 17k hours just on those 2; and I max-leveled every class of character up until Battle for Azeroth) and so far, 2 years into ARK. Just over 3.5k hours of playtime between ASE and ASA.
Dota 2. I barely enjoy it, but it's hard to find games that a friend group will agree to consistently play.
What an amazing exhausting game. I go through phases where I'll play it for a month straight then I won't touch it for 6 months
World of Warcraft, EverQuest, and No man’s Sky
Sigh... Rust
World of Warcraft is the absolute winner in my case. I have no idea on actual numbers, given 99% of my time was in private servers, with a very brief stint on official. Only one of those private servers is still around, with my character from Warlords of Draenor times still there.
Outside that, probably Skyrim (many hours playing pirate versions, modding it with more lethal combat, more lore-friendly armors and "actual" civil war, among other things). I wonder how many hours I've spent on Dwarf Fortress, as I've only played the freeware version, starting with 0.34, before trees had height.
Alley Cat
I would love to know for sure. I've put hundreds of hours into Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy X, Morrowind, and probably Halo: Reach too.
