Steam Replay 2025 is already out; for 2026, Valve has not announced a specific date yet, but past years suggest it will land in mid‑December alongside or just before the big Winter Sale.

What “Steam Replay” Is

Steam Replay (sometimes called Steam Year in Review) is Valve’s yearly stats recap that shows things like your most‑played games, total sessions, achievements, and how your playtime breaks down over the year.

It works similarly to Spotify Wrapped or other year‑end recaps and is viewable via a special page on Steam’s site or a big banner in the client.

Recent Release Dates

Looking at recent patterns gives a good idea of when Steam Replay usually comes out.

  • Steam Replay 2024 went live on 18 December 2024.
  • Steam Replay 2025 started rolling out on 16 December 2025, confirmed both by gaming press and Steam’s own social post.
  • Some outlets expected it around 17–18 December 2025, lining it up with the Winter Sale timing.

What That Means Going Forward

Because Steam Replay has landed in the second half of December for multiple years in a row, the safest expectation is:

  • Future replays (like 2026) will likely appear in mid‑December , near the Winter Sale start date, not in January.
  • The yearly recap usually covers playtime from 1 January through about 14 December (GMT), so your final two weeks of the year generally do not show up in that year’s Replay.

How To Check When It’s Out

When the new Steam Replay drops each year, you can typically:

  1. Look for a large “Steam Replay” banner on the Steam store homepage once you’re logged in.
  1. Visit the replay link shared in Steam’s official social posts or news updates for that year.
  1. If it is mid‑December and you don’t see it yet, wait a bit: the rollout can take some time to reach everyone.

TL;DR: If you’re asking “when does Steam Replay come out,” the practical answer is: check Steam around mid‑December; recent replays launched on December 16–18, with 2025’s confirmed live on December 16, 2025.
