Is it possible to clear OR hide Steam's Hours Played stat? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Actually, no. There is no built in-option to hide your hours played. The only way to achieve this is to set your profile on private, but then no one will be able to access the profile.

If you don't want anybody to know that you played over 1000 hours Barbie and friends, create an extra steam-account and buy the game there. ;)

Solution 2:

There is no way to hide hours played, nor is there a way to reset it.

You can however, prevent it from building up. Playing games in offline mode will not count towards your hours. You will not be able to play Steamworks games multiplayer, though (And sometimes not at all).
