It’s that time of year again — time for Steam Replay. Similar to Xbox Year in Review and PlayStation Wrap-Up, Steam Replay 2024 looks back over your gameplay stats for the entire year, showing you what you’ve played, how long you’ve played it, and the feats you’ve accomplished along the way.
As usual, Steam Replay runs through the end of the year, so if you want to view your Replay and unlock the exclusive Steam Replay 2024 badge, you’ll need to sign in soon. Thankfully, you can save your Steam Replay to your profile as a featured showcase, as well as share it out with your friends to view throughout the next year.
There are a couple of ways to see your Steam Replay for 2024. If you’re reading this at the time of publishing, there’s a banner ad in the Steam store that will take you straight to your Replay. If not, you can head to store.steampowered.com/replay to see yours. It’ll take you right to your Replay if you’re signed in, and if you’re not, it’ll take you to a sign-in page.
As with previous years, there are a ton of stats for you to look through. You can see the games you’ve played, the total percentage of playtime for each game, the number of achievements you’ve earned, your playtime across PC and the Steam Deck, and much, much more. Steam tracks these details per month as well, so you can see how your playtime evolved throughout the year.
The roundup is the same, but Steam has made some changes to Replay since it was introduced in 2022. Last year, Valve switched off the Replay branding. If you’ve viewed your Replay each year, you’ll be able to see your roundup for 2022 and 2024, but not for 2023. Hopefully, that won’t be true moving forward.
You can earn a Steam Replay 2024 badge by viewing your Replay for the year, which contributes a modest 50 XP to your Steam level. All you need to do to earn the badge is view your Replay. You won’t get any notifications, but if you check out your badges after looking at your Replay, you’ll see it show up alongside any other badges you have.
The badge doesn’t matter much, but it contributes a bit of XP to help you level-up your Steam account, and you can display it on your profile if you have a badge showcase module.
The Steam Replay is long, but there’s a condensed version you can share out with your friends. At the top of the page, you’ll see the Share button, along with your privacy settings. If you have your privacy setting set to Friends only or Public, you’ll be able to share a link that will take viewers to your full Replay for the year.
If you aren’t keen on sharing that much, you can also just select the Share button. This will give you three image options that you can download and post wherever you please. Valve offers these images in several languages as well.
In addition to the standard sharing options, you can also add your Steam Replay to your profile as a featured showcase. You need to have a spare showcase slot — you can purchase more in the Points Shop on Steam — but if you have one, you’ll see a condensed version of your Replay on your profile.
To add it, scroll all the way down to the bottom of your Steam Replay. There, you’ll see the Add profile showcase button. Select it, and it’ll take you to the showcase settings page with your Steam Replay already added. All you need to do is drag it to whatever position you want your Replay to show up on your profile, and select Save.
Down at the bottom, you’ll also see any friends who have shared their Steam Replays. You can click on their names to see their Replays in full, assuming they have the proper privacy settings in place.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
