GOG Year 2025 Reveals More Achievements Than Steam

26 Jan 2026

GOG has introduced the 'GOG Year 2025', a comprehensive review that details players' gaming activities and achievements, indicating notable differences compared to Steam users.

Achievement Disparities and Playtime

According to GOG's annual review, the average number of achievements unlocked by GOG users is 14, while Steam users report a median of 11. Although these statistics use different measures, they imply diverse gaming engagement levels. Additionally, GOG players spent an average of 137 hours gaming.

Contrastingly, Steam only provides percentage-based playtime insights. This suggests GOG offers a more granular view of user engagement. The metric differences between the platforms could be influencing player behavior and achievement strategies.

Game Playing Metrics

In terms of games played, Steam users show a median of four games per player, whereas GOG users have an average of 2.4. This contrast highlights variations in player exploration and game variety per user on both platforms.

These statistics could signal different community engagement patterns or game library preferences between Steam and GOG users, possibly reflecting the platforms' distinct user bases and business models.

User Privacy Options

GOG also allows users to control the visibility of their 'Year 2025' summary, giving them the option to share with friends or keep it private, offering personalized data privacy and sharing preferences.
