Subscribe to our newsletter It's not often you spend 30,000 hours playing a single video game, but when that does happen it's usually because you're really, really into it.

Not always the case, however, as proven by a fascinating Steam review for Cities: Skylines from a player with nearly 30,000 hours logged.When I first came across this post on Reddit, I had to check for myself, and sure enough, I was able to track it down and confirm that, at the very least, the reviewer had 29,926.3 hours logged in Cities: Skylines at the time of writing.

That doesn't mean the reviewer actually played the game for that long - although it's possible - but that's the amount of time the game client was active.

Still, even if half, or even three-quarters of that time, was spent idling, that's still an absolutely absurd amount of playtime for a single-gamer game.The Redditor who shared the review did the math, and assuming the 30,000 hours is legit, that would be the equivalent of more than seven hours of playtime, every day, in the 11 years since the game came out ## Editor's Note We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks.
