Happy 25th birthday, Xbox gamers, here’s a look at how much time you’ve spent gaming.
Similar to year-end recaps like Spotify Wrapped, Microsoft just dropped Xbox Playback, except this one is chock full of 25 years of info by detailing your history as a gamer on the Xbox platform, pulling info from decades ago if it’s available. And for me, it’s a reminder of just how much time I spent grinding Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 public matches and League Play with friends:
That 1,069 hours amounts to about 44 days of game time in BO2, which sounds about right, because I no-lifed the hell out of that game for years. But Xbox Playback has a lot more info like this, and it’s fun to peruse, including your total playtime across Xbox in general, your most active years, and the genres you played the most.
My top five on Xbox all comes from the golden age of the Xbox 360: BO2, Left 4 Dead, Gears of War 3, and GTA 5, with CoD: Advanced Warfare on Xbox One being the main outlier. It also tracks your rarest achievements, your longest play streak, and more.
Anyway, 2001 marked the beginning of the Xbox. I personally didn’t join until Christmas in 2008 (Playback told me so) with the Xbox 360, which I immediately used to put in a ton of hours in L4D, Mass Effect 3, and eventually BO2 which I played 310 separate times, apparently. Yikes.
So, what about you, Destructoid reader? Check out the Xbox Playback website and log in to your account to see just how much you’ve been gaming (or not gaming) on Xbox throughout the years, and let us know in the comments below what your proudest (or most shameful) numbers are.
