Always free games you have the most playtime

Dota 2, 2k+

Warframe
2550 hours

Path of Exile... I am at 15k+ hours(most of it on standalone client... from before it came to steam... and later(patching was significantly faster because of how steam patches... changed some time ago so its not a difference of a min vs 30 anymore...)

while technically free... anyone who plays long term will want to spend a good $30-60 minimum.

War of Omens. Steam doesn't even show half my playtime. I have been playing it on Kongregate more or less since it came out in 2014. Then mostly on mobile (but also on Steam) since flash died.

Gems of War - 13339 hours on Steam + unaccounted time through the Android version.

Idle champions 2900 hours

no do not start . it is P2W

RuneScape, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Dirty Bomb, Warframe. The four horsemen of the apocalypse. All over 4000 hours.

Have a lot of hours in the quake-like game Xonotic, not sure how many though. Good game, completely free and open source.

Idle Champions 500 hours

Warframe 5k+
Undaw 3k+
Desteny2 4k+
Star wars The Old Republic 3k+
Astroneer 2k+
Ark 2k+
Conan Exil 2k+
and a lot others less the 500 lol

5k hours on dota

Paladins 2067 hours

Hearthstone has no way to track hours but if I had to guess I have 1000-1500 hours playing it from 2016-2022.

• Idle Champions - 6084h
• Gems of War - 1216h
• Hexceed - 265h

Not to mention games on websites like Kongregate and other browser games but no clue about these in the past!

Secret World Legends - 2060.5 hours

TF2 - 99.1 hrs

Almost 14,000 hours in Cell to Singularity. It has optional, not needed at all, in-app purchases, and it's an idle game, hence the large amount of hours.

I also have around 11,000 hours in The Lord Of The Rings Online, which I started to play when they entered the freemium model (free to play, pay for extra areas and expansions), which is not the same as "always free", but I like to mention it. I've not played since 2020.

Hearthstone, should be in 5000+ hours range since I play since first release (before Naxxramas)

Dota 2, 4400

Idle Champions, 2900

Urban Rivals, leaving in 2019 with 75% completion, should be 2000+ hours, only buying Titanium booster with real cash

Sweetest memory of Free + Free to Play games: Dirty Bomb, 178, but they all the best 178 hours of my life.

OpenTTD 200h, 500h? Not sure, played most of it before it came to Steam/GoG.

Minion Masters, 822 hours. I do not play it anymore.

I wonder how much I have in Runescape, likely thousands from highschool era.
League of Legends, definitely too many thousands.

Would rather return to Runescape, it's chill compared to LoL :D

for those with more than 10k, Jesus Christ.... but much respect! but Jesus christ (joke)

I would like to know more about those (anything up from 2k hs will be interesting), it's very impressive to give so much time life for just one game.

if you can, and like the idea... tell us more about that adventure, how do you feel through the years, your single? make a family? ... those must be years of gaming.... how do you feel when you leave it, if you leave it,... how community for those games,

sorry for my basic English... it's amazing for me that mostly play SP games with a max of 200,hs to hear about a game that can get you enterteiment for so long.

513.8 hours on Sven Co-op

Rocket League is probably at the top, couple thousand hours
