Yearly Recap / “Wrapped” Experience to LaunchBox & Big Box

📋 Summary

Introduce a yearly recap feature in LaunchBox and Big Box that summarizes a user’s gaming activity across their entire library, similar to Steam’s Year in Review, but covering all games LaunchBox tracks regardless of storefront.

❗ Problem

Steam’s yearly recap only reflects games played through Steam, ignoring playtime from Epic, GOG, Game Pass, emulators, and other sources. Users who split their gaming across multiple platforms never get a complete picture of their year.

LaunchBox already aggregates playtime and activity across many libraries, but there’s currently no way to visualize or celebrate that data in a meaningful, end-of-year summary.

💡 Proposal

Add an optional Yearly Recap feature that can be viewed in LaunchBox and Big Box, highlighting stats such as:

• Total playtime for the year

• Most played games (by time, not just play count)

• Number of games started, beaten, completed, or mastered

• Playtime by platform or genre

• Monthly or timeline-based highlights

This could be presented as a dedicated recap screen, slideshow-style flow, or shareable summary.

🧩 Use Cases

• Users want a true “all-in-one” gaming recap that includes emulated games and non-Steam libraries

• Big Box users want a fun, visual summary they can view on the couch or show off

• Players enjoy reflecting on their gaming habits and milestones from the past year

📦 Benefits

• Provides a richer recap than storefront-specific alternatives

• Leverages LaunchBox’s unique strength as a unified gaming hub

• Adds a fun, celebratory feature that encourages engagement and long-term tracking

• Works naturally with existing playtime and progress tracking systems
