Steam players are entering that familiar moment of the year when everyone starts comparing playtime charts, flexing achievements, and rediscovering just how many hours they sank into their comfort games. Valve’s annual recap, widely known as Steam Wrapped or Steam Replay, is preparing for its return and excitement is already building across the PC community.
While Valve hasn’t officially announced the rollout yet, all signs point to the feature returning in its usual end-of-year window. For the past two years, Steam Replay has dropped in mid-December, landing right before the Winter Sale and instantly flooding social feeds with stats, charts, and “no way I played that much” reactions.
Following that pattern, Steam Wrapped 2025 is expected to go live around mid-December, with December 18th emerging as the most likely release timeframe based on Valve’s previous schedule. Once it arrives, players will be able to generate a fully personalized breakdown of their year; top games, total hours, genre distribution, longest streaks, rare achievements, and more.
For many, Steam Replay is more than a recap. It’s a snapshot of how gaming shaped their year, from surprise obsessions to returning favorites. And with PC gaming’s massive 2025 lineup, this year’s charts might be more chaotic than ever.
