How Do I Check My Playtime on Blizzard?

Whether you‘re a hardcore WoW raider, aspiring Overwatch pro, or just a casual Hearthstone player, knowing your overall gaming hours can be valuable. Fortunately, Blizzard makes it easy to see your playtime across their library of titles.

In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll cover all the methods for checking game time in World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Diablo III.

World of Warcraft Playtime Tracking

With over a decade of expansions under its belt, World of Warcraft offers plenty of ways to monitor your play hours across characters:

Using the /played Command

The easiest way is using the /played command directly in the chat window, which displays your total accumulated playtime on that specific character.

For longtime WoW vets, /played offers a glimpse into the scary reality of just how much of your life was spent farming Naxxramas (RIP social life).

Viewing Character Profile

Alternatively, open your character sheet using the hotkey Ctrl+J. Switch to the main "Character" tab and your playtime in days will be shown at the top.

Adding Up Daily Tracking Stats

Diehard achievement hunters can also view daily character tracking stats under Achievements > Statistics > Character to calculate playtime.

This shows exact daily figures rather than the total – so you‘d need to manually add up days played across logging periods. Very tedious, but a completionist‘s dream!

Extra Tracking Addons and Overlays

For even more detailed tracking, WoW players have access to a host of addons like Altoholic and SavedInstances that provide enhanced gameplay stats and graphs.

These let you analyze playtime by activity, monitor efficiency, spot raid attendance trends…basically transform into a completle WoW data nerd!

Overwatch Playtime Overview

As a fast-paced, team-based shooter, monitoring your Overwatch gameplay hours can give a competitive edge:

Career Profile Page

Overwatch playtime lives on the Career Profile page accessible from the main menu. Here you can view:

• Total hours played
• Time spent per game mode (Competitive, Quick Play, Arcade, etc)
• Most played heroes
• Time played per role (tank, damage, support)

So if your goal is bulking up playtime on certain heroes or roles for Competitive, the Career Profile offers an easy way to track progress.

Third-Party Sites for Advanced Stats

If you want deeper analytical stats like damage, deaths, or ability usage, sites like OverTrack and Visor connect to your Blizzard profile to provide vastly expanded tracking.

These Often have paid "pro" tiers with features like heatmaps, VOD reviews, and performance analysis to take your game to the next level.

Hearthstone Play Time Tracking

As a 1v1 collectible card game, tracking playtime in Hearthstone tends to focus on progression benchmarks:

Total Hours Played Achievements

The main way to gauge overall Hearthstone playtime is through achievements:

• 25 Hours Played – Hit between 2-6 months for most
• 100 Hours Played – Around 8+ months for casual players
• 500 Hours Played – 1-2 years for engaged players
• 1000 Hours Played – 3+ years for committed players

Adding up achieved playtime milestones gives an estimate of total hours logged.

Using Third-Party Deck Trackers

Many players also use deck trackers like Hearthstone Deck Tracker or Firestone. These track detailed session stats including:

• Games played
• Session duration
• Win rates
• Common card/deck matchups

So while Hearthstone lacks native playtime tracking, community tools help fill the void.

Heroes of the Storm Playtime Insights

Blizzard‘s MOBA lets you easily view aggregate play data:

Profile Statistics Section

Heroes of the Storm playtime is shown under Profile > Statistics, including:

• Time played per hero
• Total games played
• Wins/losses
• Modes played (Quick match, Unranked, Ranked, etc)

This lets Heroes players analyze trends like which heroes they favor, win rate differences per mode, and how factors have changed over time.

Third-Party Sites

As with Overwatch, sites like Heroes Profile provide advanced stats by parsing your Blizzard data. These include talent/ heroic build win rates, death heatmapcs, comparative MMR, and more.

Diablo III Play Time Management

For demon hunters and Nephalem warriors, playtime is viewed per character rather than account-wide:

Character Sheet Panel

Open your character sheet using C key, and go to the Hero panel. This shows:

• Seasonal playtime
• Non-seasonal playtime
• Other stats like highest/most recent GR clear

This per-hero view lets analyze relative investment across your different Diablo III characters.

Third-Party Tracker Overlays

Apps like Diablo III Tracker display realtime overlays with enhanced stats as you play. These include run timers, drops per hour, total elites killed – essentially quantifying your monster-slaying efficiency!

While playtime tracking details vary slightly across games, Blizzard makes it relatively straightforward to monitor gameplay hours through achievements, profile pages, character sheets, and commands.

Complementing the built-in stats with external tracker apps enables even deeper analytical capabilities.

So whatever your favored Blizzard game, be sure to regularly check your play data to improve performance, plan your gaming, and flex those /played hours!
