• Two year-end features reveal your handheld game time: Valve’s Steam Replay and the Nintendo Switch Year in Review.
• Both provide stats and insights into your handheld gaming habits in 2024.
• Xbox and PlayStation have also released similar features for their respective ecosystems.

One surprising thing about handheld gaming devices is how easy it is to lose time on them. Whether on the sofa, on a bus, or in a Zoom meeting you’re absolutely paying attention to, devices like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck can give you bite-sized chunks of game time whenever you find your hands free.

Now, you can see how much time you’ve spent on your favorite handhelds with a few Spotify Wrapped-like features. The first, Steam Replay, tracks your game time across all games on Steam. Previously called the Steam Year in Review, it includes tons of graphics and statistics, but the most interesting for handheld gamers is the page dedicated to the Steam Deck.
