Does steam replay stats gets updated until 23:59:59 on the 31st December of the year after it came out?

[Napoleonic S]

Does it? I think it ought to be because people could do an end of the year gaming rush that can change the stats significantly.

The FAQ at the bottom of the replay tells you what play time is included.

What dates of playtime are included?
Steam Replay 2024 includes all of your play time between the first second of January 1 and the last second of December 14 (GMT).

Is there somewhere a reason WHY December 15 to December 31st are excluded??

I would imagine that this period of time, are some of the most intense "Gaming Weeks" out of an entire year...

I thought it wasn't about excluding that timeframe but rather a possibility that the stats is fixed and won't be updated after being published.

Yeah, they simply do a one-off stat chart.

Steam Replay is mostly accurate, but has some minor statistical inaccuracies, I suppose.

Yeah, I just found it rather weird. Since I do so much gaming in this time. Last year, for example, I played "The Sinking City" for around 43 hours in this time period.

However, it doesn't show up in either my 2023 replay or my 2024 replay. This year is likely to have similar results. Ending up with somewhere between 20-60 hours missing from the stats and 1-2 games being absent.

So my suspicion is true? The stats not being updated after came out?

Well yeah, the time between 15-31 December remains missing. It is as far as I can see, never added to the "Replay Page" at some later point.

Including the current one? How come nobody else noticed after several years...

No idea. Either no one cared much about it. Or it has already been a talked about forum-topic in older threads.

Quite the opposite for more than a few people. Between work, family, travel, shopping and wrapping, many have very little time to play games this time of year.

It has been noticed, and mentioned every year. Most people don't care enough to make a big hub bub about it in the forums.

Well, of course that is true also. However, for many people this is also an extended period of time with neither work nor school and so gaming is an available option. Not one that everyone can or want to choose obviously, but I still believe many do.

Well, simply asking the question "Why is it like this?"...can that be considered a "Big Hub Bub"?

So in retrospect this post was incorrect? Also then steam provided the wrong answer on their FAQ?

No that post is correct I assume. Replay includes Jan01-Dec14 but not Dec15-Dec31.
