It’s not just Spotify anymore — the Wrapped phenomenon has taken over. From music and podcasts to gaming (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Steam are all accounted for) and beyond, the data breakdowns of what you’ve been doing are a reminder that with so many connected devices, someone is always watching.
Once Dunkin and Shake Shack started doing roundups, the trend was cemented, and it doesn’t seem like it will turn around any time soon.
Of course, Spotify is still taking the lead. For 2024, Wrapped integrates Google’s NotebookLM to have two AI-generated podcast hosts review facts you already knew about your favorite musicians and track how your taste changed throughout the year. If you haven’t pulled up your Wrapped 2024 stats yet, here’s how you can find them.
If you have recaps to share or spot a few that we’ve missed, drop them in the comments.
- Tesla gives Solar and Powerwall users a 2024 wrap-up.
“Tesla Recharged” gives customers year-end insights in the Tesla app for stats such as how often users’ homes are powered off-grid.
As Not a Tesla App reports, Tesla Energy users get trophies like “Solar Punk” if they’re in the top 25 percent generating solar energy for the year or “Team Player” for being in the top 1 percent of sending electricity back to the grid.
The awards only apply to Tesla Energy customers. Image: Alex Guichet - You are what you watched.

You can access your Replay on Steam. If you want to know more about what I personally played, I just wrote about eight great Steam Deck games from this year.

Xbox and PlayStation year in reviews are out, so now it’s time for Nintendo. Sign in to the website and Nintendo will break down the number of games you played across how many hours and collect your most played games and when you played them.
According to my review, I spent a whopping 173 hours on just eight games. That’s a lot of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (and it was worth it!)

The new feature, which is only available through the first week of January, lets you combine a bunch of pictures from throughout the year and share them with friends.
You can currently only create collage-like stories by adding a photo to your story, resizing it, moving it around the screen, and then adding more images as stickers. Instagram’s layout feature also lets you add multiple photos to a story, but they only appear in a grid format.

PlayStation has rolled out its Wrap Up for 2024 treating players to a personal overview of their gaming habits over the year. Since the site appears to have loading issues right now, I can’t show you how long I’ve spent in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. (A lot.) However, Wario64 was kind enough to share theirs, averaging seven hours over just six games.

How to find your 2024 Spotify Wrapped
Image: Samar Haddad / The VergeOne of the more popular end-of-year items is music service recaps, and one of the best known is Spotify Wrapped. The company puts together a roundup of everything you listened to that year in various statistical formats, wrapped up (well, that’s what it’s called, right?) in bright, swirling graphics. For 2024, you’ll be shown what music categories you followed, how your listening habits changed over the year, get a list of your top 10 songs and artists, check out your top artist of the year, and even see a short video interview with one of the featured artists.
This year’s Wrapped also lets you access separate segments, such as a personalized podcast with two AI “hosts” (compliments of Google’s NotebookLM) who chat about your listening habits.
