Another year has come and gone, so it is time for the Year Stats again!
This year the Year stats* are revamped and a lot of options you requested are now possible!
You will see the Year Stats banner on the main overview screen of the app. Tap this banner to go directly to your Year Stats! (depending on your stats and device this may take a little while)
The Year Stats will be created from your Insights, with the period 2024. The default sorting of the list of games will be on Play count.**
If you’ve accidentally closed the banner you can enable it by going to Settings –> Help, About and Contact and tap “Reset Did-you-knows” (available with version iOS 5.5.1 / Android 5.5.2).
* Year Stats available from version 5.5. On Android only available for Android 8 and higher.
** Your previously selected Insights settings like filters and sorting are temporarily replaced. When you leave the Year Stats and Insights screen without making adjustments, the next time you open Insights your original settings will be restored.
Options on the Year Stats screen
Picture grid
You can tap the grid to hide a picture. Other stats are not recalculated when you do this.
Stats grid (options available with version iOS 5.5.1 / Android 5.5.2)
- Tap Players to toggle between named players and all players.
- Tap the Hours/Days row to get the option to hide it.
- Tap Designers to toggle between showing/not showing (uncredited)
Badge
Three options are available:
- Plays: this will show a badge on each game image with the number of plays for that game.
- Time: this will show a badge on each game image with the amount of time spent on that game. (Available with Deep Stats)
- None: no badge will be shown.
When creating the Year Stats from the Year Stats banner the games will be sorted by Play count (Plays), and this badge will be selected. If created from Insights (See “Want more control?) and the games list is sorted on time, this badge (Time) will be selected.
When switching between the Plays and Time badge the option to sort on the newly chosen badge will become available. Tap this to resort the picture grid on the chosen badge option. (available with version iOS 5.5.1 / Android 5.5.2)
Background
Two options are available:
- Game: the background will automatically be generated from the cover image of your top game.
- Standard: choose this to use the standard background colour.

How are Designers calculated?
The percentage shown for Designers is over all your unique played Games, not plays.
Want more control?
If you created the Year Stats by tapping the banner, you can tap on “Insights” on the top left corner to go to Insights. You can also go to Insights directly from the main overview screen.
In both cases, once you are finished adjusting your Insights, you can go to the Year Stats by tapping the “Share” button in the top right and selecting “Year Stats” in the menu.
You can change your Insights as you always can, by changing the period and the sorting of the Games list. These changes will be reflected in your Year Stats.
More options for filtering are available if you have Deep Stats expansion: Players, Player Count and Locations. With the Tagging expansion, you can select a Default or saved filter.
But what about the rest of the Year?
The 2024 Year Stat banner will be available throughout the first half of January. Somewhere in the new year, the Year Stats will be renamed and you will be able to share this image for any period you can select on Insights.
