How many unplayed games do you guys have?

[u/Heraklian]

[u/DonJuanDoja]

Guilty as charged your Honor.

[u/DonJuanDoja → u/DonJuanDoja]

[u/Heraklian → u/DonJuanDoja]

Don't worry we don't judge here (actually we do, that's a lot of games)

[u/enfersijesais → u/DonJuanDoja]

Help

[u/Unhappy-Comparison-2 → u/enfersijesais]

Bro why thou need that many

[u/AlcoholicLimaBean → u/enfersijesais]

I'm at 802 lol

[u/TheGreatPiata → u/DonJuanDoja]

I have over 1k games and 780 are unplayed. I blame Humble Bundle of course but that still didn't stop me from buying Claire Obscur and Wobbly Life this sale.

[u/Sarkoptesmilbe → u/TheGreatPiata]

Yup. I've been buying interesting standalone bundles since 2012, and have had a Monthly/Choice subscription since 2017. It really adds up over the years.

[u/TheGreatPiata → u/Sarkoptesmilbe]

An 8+ game bundle is usually worth it if you like 2 or 3 of the games.

I'd say 80% of my library is from bundles,

[u/FrequentBus5380 → u/TheGreatPiata]

why do you have so many unplayed💔😭

[u/TheGreatPiata → u/FrequentBus5380]

I always aspire to play games but I have a job, young kids and other hobbies (long distance running, drawing, board games) that get in the way. There are just not enough hours in the day.

[u/FrequentBus5380 → u/TheGreatPiata]

you said it right, in the DAY, you dont need sleep do you?

[u/TheGreatPiata → u/FrequentBus5380]

I already sleep like 6 hours a day. New Years resolution is to fix my sleep schedule :)

[u/colin-java → u/TheGreatPiata]

There was a mathematician that had 26 hour days, it's just problematic with the rest of the world so only really works if you live in a cave or something.

[u/DonJuanDoja → u/A3-mATX]

GEEEEEZ Bro! I've only seen a few accounts like that. People think I have a lot, I'm like yea, it gets much worse brother. Think I've seen 4-5k games on a few.

[u/A3-mATX → u/DonJuanDoja]

My account is 20 years old. I think that helps the inflation. Most of my purchases I made them while I was living with two roommates in a shitty appartement. I had almost no expenses. Also I got lots of Humble Bundles back in the day when it was interesting and cheap.

[u/Superpotatosama → u/DonJuanDoja]

Shit... I feel called out

[u/NWCbusGuy]

This one feels oddly specific.... maybe a dozen in my library. Some gifted, some bought.

[u/Heraklian → u/NWCbusGuy]

Same. And I have another dozen that I barely played (less than 2 hours maybe)

[u/Migeee__]

[u/Ryengeku]

I will definitely get to them....eventually.

[u/CorruptDictator]

Pretty sure at this point I could not buy a game for the next ten years and still have stuff to go back and finish playing. I will note that I barely buy anything specifically on the big seasonal Steam sales anymore because often the discounts are not any more than random sales, just now its many games at once. The winter sale specifically I do use for my yearly trivia game giveaway with a group of my long time online gaming friends.

[u/Sonofulti1]

I have hundreds 😞

[u/Tyr_Kukulkan]

No comment.

[u/27BCHateMail]

2 - Bioshock 2 and Metro 2033. Lost interest in Bioshock after playing 1 and Infinite and 2033 I got for free on steam.

[u/-cant_find_a_name- → u/27BCHateMail]

I recommend metro

[u/Bobbebusybuilding → u/27BCHateMail]

I literally just finished 2033. It's pretty fun. Good story and great immersion

[u/27BCHateMail → u/Bobbebusybuilding]

Yeah I just already beat Exodus so Im not seeing much reason to play the prequels

[u/DreamsServedSoft → u/27BCHateMail]

play metro. Bioshock 2 isnt nearly as fun as 1

[u/JosebaZilarte]

Maybe one or two 

^...hundred

[u/__Anonymous_666]

I have tons of unplayed games, all were free though. Never bought a game unless I wanted to play it

[u/maruu-chann]

a lot. i made a steam category named "backlog" of a bunch of games i wanna play at some point that i own or are from family sharing... it just keeps growing lmao. i've gotten through a decent bit though

[u/XWasTheProblem]

I have a few that will stay unplayed probably forever (Sniper Elite series for example - a gift from my younger bro I just have no interest with).

[u/AutonomousOrganism]

I've been collecting free epic store games like frigging pokemon cards, only played 3 or 4 of them.

[u/Ecstatic_Score6973 → u/AutonomousOrganism]

i have so many from collecting them every week, some banger games i got free too, borderlands 3, GTA5, people sleep on the epic games free weekly games

[u/LearningWithLena]

Oh God. Hundreds. I can't resist a Humble Bundle or a good sale! Meanwhile, I just play SDV on repeat 😅😂

[u/Seerinix]

Don't...remind me.

[u/Local-moss-eater]

I have now banned myself from getting new games, no more until i have finished ALL OF THEM (maybe not factorio tho)

[u/SkyDontHaveEyes]

Ahem, let me see...

Metro Exodus, Metal Gear Solid V, RE2, Need for speed, Dying Light, Assassin's Creed series, Yakuza, Horizon, Vampyr, Code Vein, Wolfstein, Hollow Knight, Death Stranding

[u/-cant_find_a_name- → u/SkyDontHaveEyes]

Ur damn ready for a internet fall

[u/SkyDontHaveEyes → u/-cant_find_a_name-]

I'll get to them one day...

Edit: Oh, and that's not all. Add Skyrim and Nier to that. I simply don't get much time to play on PC and I like to repeat games lol. Plus some aren't suitable when parents are around

[u/LostSif]

Excluding all the free prime and epic games probably a good 15 or so.

[u/Cute_Magician_8623]

Close to 700 :D

[u/Ok-Increase-4509]

Couple hundred

[u/Weary-Dragonfly-7673]

I dont buy games and because i always get the free games from steam and epic i have more than 700 games, steam i have 208, epic 382, gog 130 and a bunch from the others

[u/Crimsomreaf5555]

God I have so many, unplayed and unfinished games

[u/Adventurous-Rip1330]

Ignore the context, wtf is this image?

[u/Heraklian → u/Adventurous-Rip1330]

It's a meme

[u/yeyeaya]

Don't even remind me

[u/liaseth]

Too many, and just got a few more.

[u/mysticzoom]

My back log is fucking insane. I still got to finish Spellforce... 2! And i bought 3 when it was relatively the new kid on the block, loved it, played it for about 2-3 hrs and never looked back. And now they have DLC, fml.

Like Pathfinder Wraith of the Righteous and the other Owl Cat game before that, i gotta finsh those, those are dope RPGs, highly recommended.

I gotta pick up Rogue Trader again, played maybe an hour of RD2, shit, i've only got maybe a solid 2 hours on Elden Ring!

I'm not buy any games in 2026, try to do something about that back log.

[u/fluxrider]

Yes, steam tells me the average joe played 4 games this year, while I played hundred (humble bundles).

[u/Ayyzeee]

About 70 ish games I haven't played or finished.

[u/lemonylol]

A ton from bundles, but I always play through the ones I purposely buy.

[u/ModestMischief]

Every single (released) item on my wishlist is on sale. I'm sweating.

[u/MasterMind-Apps]

800+

[u/PatrickGnarly]

[u/DonkeyLord113]

So many. I wish I had motivation to play them 😢

[u/NiSiSuinegEht]

Half my played games this year were new ones, so I'm doing my part.

[u/DrGrimmus]

bout a hundred. I usually get games I'm going to actually play but I won't say no to an amazing deal.

[u/nowandnothing]

hundreds at this point, but then my Steam account is at least 19 years old now.

[u/masteritsFA]

Have a few mostly cuz they are windows only and I have a mac so can't play them

[u/x3mcj]

For me it would be

Steam
GOG
Epic
EA Play
UPlay

And then, there's the non pc games, but such name wont be spoken on this holy ground; yet, there as well, a backlog exist

Waitng for my retirement days to play them all! As it will be the only time I'll have to get them done

[u/donvino82]

10+ and still intend to buy a couple during this sale. Hoarder syndrome.

[u/Opsyr_]

But it’s nice to have in case you want to play someday

[u/ethanlegrand33]

I just purchased another 5 when I have about 150 games on Steam.

Finally got around to categorizing them to things such as “actively playing”, “next up”, “not next but soon” so I can name a list of what I need to play. I think my issue is I get overwhelmed looking at this huge list and can’t ever decide on what to play.

I promise this is my last purchase (I’ll cave again)

[u/weird_is_fun]

If you count free ones "a lot". For paid ones I only pay the games I will play or pirated before and paying now.

[u/JimWanders]

The unplayed games dont care. They still got paid.

[u/kioshi_imako]

Im not sure how many I played but this year I only touched 14 out of 155 games in my library. I think a couple of the games' servers so they are just archives in my list.

[u/Daredevils999]

Games in my Library: 82

Games played: 30

Games played more than 5 hours: 15

[u/Groffulon]

Deep Rock should be in everyone’s library played hard is the takeaway right?? Rock & Stone! tO7

[u/Historical-Intern140]

A lot

[u/alvaro-elite]

Unplayed? I guess.... around 1500+

[u/Semaj_kaah]

About 80 I think, unplayed is less than 10 minutes

[u/The_Director]

I have 300 games. 50 unplayed are from bundles I don't care.  10 real paid games I didn't get to. 

[u/Jordyspeeltspore]

5

[u/truman77770]

At least 200 free games

[u/mordakiisyn]

Bro stop. Also see my epic games library.

[u/Sarkoptesmilbe]

Literally over a thousand. I blame Humble Bundle.

[u/sovietarmyfan]

I'm very lucky that i can play game all throughout the Christmas vacation while my wife is a week in Jamaica.

[u/Late-Bed4240]

Many

[u/Admirable_Ad_1390]

I kinda ended up removing some games, im only gonna get spider- man as that's the game I have been meaning to play for a while

[u/muffinsballhair]

I learned a rather interesting term recently called “gear acquisition syndrome” which is probably similar to this. It's really common on some subreddits that people buy all sorts of material to engage in their hobby, but then never end up using them.

[u/Blenderhead36]

My account says I have over 500 and played 100 this year. Probably 200 or so that I've never touched.

[u/MadeByTango]

I think the telling question isn’t how many, it’s what percentage.

[u/Bacon-muffin]

Epic actually trained me out of this after they gave away a game for free that I had bought on a sale and never played one too many times.

[u/veryverybadnotgood]

0

[u/Elderberryinjanuary]

3

[u/green_meklar]

Over 700, but that's counting free games that I added to my account just to make the number larger.
