How much have you spent on gaming in 2024?

[SvennoJ]

I rather not keep track :)

I've bought a lot of PSVR2 games, some PS5 games and a PS5 Pro + disc drive.

Physical: Astrobot, Lego Horizon, Tlou2 remastered
Digital: Path of Exile 2 Beta, Subside, Alien Rogue Incursion, Behemoth, Unravel 2, HZD remastered upgrade, Metro Awakening, Whitewater VR, Max Mustard, Kill it with Fire VR, Windslands 2, Towsmen VR, Towers and Powers VR, Infinite Inside, Very Bad Dreams, Madison VR, Sea of Thieves, Cyube VR, Stilt.

Some of those were on sale and VR games are usually $40 or less. I estimate about $750 in games. Maybe a bit more as I've bought a bunch of DLC for Puzzling places as well.

I did not renew my ps+, it will auto renew next August. No discount options so far to extend the normal ps+ here :/ I would cancel if my kid didn't use it daily.

However I've bought games for my kids as well over the year on Steam and PS5, add a couple 100 to that total. So maybe a bit over $1000.

Pretty cheap year really. Not many AAA releases worthy of buying imo. Thus also very few physical purchases this year :/ While some VR games do get a physical release, it's always months later and special order :(

I haven't bought a new gaming laptop yet. I'm not playing on it anymore and while it would be great to be able to play Stalker 2 (which I paid for years ago already) my VR back log gets priority. I rather stick around with the devil I know (Windows 10) as long as it still (mostly) works than switch to 11 or Mac OS with a new laptop.

My most played games this year were Puzzling Places, GT7 and Astrobot. I fit the Steam survey in spending 70% of my time on older games.
