Xbox Game Studios titles have been played for 1.66 billion hours this year, further proving that 2020 has been a great year for staying inside and playing video games.

Xbox marketing boss Aaron Greenberg shared the dizzying figure in a rundown of impressive stats on the Xbox Wire blog. That figure of 1.66 billion hours played is only year-to-date, and Greenberg confirmed that it's a record for the company.

With Xbox Series X and an impressive slate of upcoming Xbox Series X games on the way, I'd expect those numbers are only going to keep climbing in the years ahead.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
