Headline says ‘only’, but the article says that’s actually an increase from last year.

Hell, I’m surprised it is over 10% with how many of the most popular games have been around for years.

My guess is that Palworld and Helldivers 2 carried a good chunk of that time. I was going to mention Factorio Space Age, but it would just track time for base game. Satisfactory has been in early access for a long time, but officially released 1.0 this year as well, I wonder how that’d count.

Even one of the biggest releases of this year was a DLC to Elden Ring, which means the actual game is still a few years old

of course it is; 0% of players in 2023 played games released in 2024.

Well technically with early access games, it would be >0%. Although they didn’t know that back in 2023…
