According to my year in review my most played game was Civilisation VI, however real time doesn't count when playing Civ and not all of that was 'active playing' (a lot of it was waiting for other people to finish their turns). Second was Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, another game where 'active playing' was only a percentage of the total. So that leaves Palworld as the one I actually played the most.

My most played game in 2024 was Starfield, which also happened to be my most played game in 2023.

Songs of Conquest is my most played game of the year. I love the interactions you can trigger by stacking spells or combining them with certain units. The Heroes of Might and Magic successor I've been waiting for.

My most played game this year was Metaphor Re:Fantazio, which isn't saying much. The only games I played that released in 2024 were P3: Reload (a remake), Metaphor and Shadow Generations. Most of my time was otherwise spent playing older games, which is nothing new for me.

Isn't CS2 FTP? I guess they made a lot of money with their in-app purchases. Lots of fannies paying for weapon skins out there. O_o

My most played game was Forza Horizon 4, sadly I missed three achievements that were tied to the final event. I bought the game before but only started playing after it ended. Can't wait for FH5 to get a pre-delisting discount.

Very happy to see my beloved Dota 2 on the list.
