Yup, it does! The moment you launch CS:GO and chill in the lobby, the clock starts ticking on your playtime. Steam doesn't differentiate whether you're actively playing a match or just hanging out in the lobby. So, grab some snacks, queue up, and watch those hours go up!

Actually, it counts. Every second you're in the game, lobby included, adds to your playtime. Steam's all about the total time the game's running, not just in-match action.

Definitely counts! Been there, done that. My playtime's got hours piled up just from being in lobbies. Perfect for flexing those high numbers without breaking a sweat in matches.

Nope, doesn't make sense. Only in-game action should count. Sitting in a lobby? That's just waiting time, not playtime.
