Not the last 3 list, but all "recently played" list. How long before a game falls off and is removed from the list once I stop playing it?

I have heard it will fall off after 2 weeks, but can anyone confirm this?

I would say a month or so. I have something from Feb 4 on mine. It's the last entry.

Have games been dropping off your recently played list though? Have you noticed?

I'd say somewhere between two to three weeks looking at my list and when I played stuff.

The last game on my list was played 4.2. From that, looks lke it's a month or so.

AFIK it's a simple MRU list, Most Recently Used. Meaning games will get flushed off if you play new games and kept if you don't.

It's time based and the cutoff point is around a month. The latest entry in my Recent list is Van Helsing 1, which I finished on Feb 2.

I tested it once to see if it's amount based by launching all 100+ games I had installed. They all showed up on the profile in the recent list. My daughter hasn't used her Steam account since december, her Recent list on the profile is completely empty.

Yeah I had played Scrap Mechanic at the end of January and it's not on the list anymore.

Yeah. from my experience it also seems to be about a month.

I would add that I flit around a lot between games a lot of the time, so I can have MANY games I've played in a month.
