If we're counting every Pokémon game as a single one, then that. Otherwise, probably Skyrim. I must have like 2000+ hours across all of its versions.

World of Warcraft and then Final Fantasy XIV.
And it's not even close.
MMO wise, it has to be World of Warcraft. Played it nonstop when I was young.
2nd place is Oxygen Not Included.
On and off for over a decade I've played the original Borderlands on xbox360, so definitely that.
I think that Borderlands still had the best gameplay loop because of its more random loot system.
You didn't have the legendary items dropping from specific enemies, so instead of farming bosses for a specific item, you just run around playing the game. Every time you opened a chest it was exciting because there might be something good inside.
Oh, and the legendary guns could be stupid powerful. I got a Hellfire with my Lilith at level 25 or something, and it still melted enemies at level 70 because of the elemental effects.
If I could get that loot system with BL2's story and level design and the Pre-sequel's OZ kits I think it'd be perfect.
Rimworld
I have over 1500 cumulative hours invested in No Man's Sky and Minecraft respectively. I am a casual gamer. I started playing Minecraft in 2012 and NMS in 2017.
Kerbal space program
The Bethesda RPGs: Skyrim, Morrowind, Fallout series (although most of the hours probably into NV, which wasn't actually Bethesda).
The Total War series, I have 300+ hours on Shogun 2, Rome 2, Empire, and Warhammer 2 each. Almost 100+ on most others. Probably have 1000+ hours on League of Legends too.
That I know of (3000+): Team Fortress 2
Probably(500+): Super Mario 3, or Apotris
And also Satisfactory. I think I kinda like it better than factorio
based on this, you should try Rimworld if you haven't yet. I've put over 1000 hours into it and i don't do that with anything
Over time: probably Contra on the NES, Tetris and Bionic Commando on the GameBoy, Operation Wolf and Sinistar in the arcade. DOOM, Duke3d, and XEvil on the PC. CS 1.6 and CS:S in college. The Gears series on the 360.
Then I had a decade or so gaming drought. More recently: Batsugun, Ketsui (Deathtiny and Death Label), Danmaku Unlimited 3, and Battlefield 2042.
Around 2.6k hours in CSGO. Quit playing CS2 shortly after release :(
Need a buddy to play with? I've got ~5k hours
Sadly League of Legends, probably Skyrim next, Overwatch and Terraria
I also play FGO since the NA server released(7 years ago) but I don't play more than 20min daily
I'm a bit ashamed of it, but Overwatch, I really enjoyed the multiplayer and played with some cool people I met in game. Stopped playing when OW2 released.
My second most played game is Destiny 2.
Maybe something is wrong with me...
Dark Age of Camelot. 6000 hours on my main character, and I had more or less ten characters… I’ll never beat that amount of dedication into a game.
When I played on PC more EverQuest, counterstrike, TF2, wow, Skyrim
After playing more on console ff14, elder scrolls online, pillars of eternity 1/2, and souls games (ds2, ds3, bloodborne, elden Ring)
I also like to play Indies and smaller games but those are the ones I keep going back to
Braben & Bells "Elite". The original one on the C64.
Europa Universalis 4, and it's not really a close margin. 1445 hr mark is when you've finally completed the tutorial and can start the real game.
Try Hearts of Iron 4 and the 1936 hour tutorial ;-;
Monster Hunter World. I usually stop playing games after I roll the credits, but I have been addicted to min/maxing in that series since Tri.
Sadly as I get older I game less hours, so most of my games on this list are older. LoL, wow, Dota 2, modern warfare 2 (2009), Wingspan(online boardgame), PubG battlegrounds, counter strike 2, terraria. I haven't played fps, wow, or dota for years, but they still dominate this list. It's funny because if I made a list of my favorite games, it would include almost none of these, except terraria.
Arma 3
To expand on this, DayZ, including Arma Mod. Over 1k hours
Same here. Over 1000 hours and like 80% of it is on Eden Editor.
Probably Warcraft Rumble.
KSP
Minecraft, and the number is still growing.
Factorio.
Factorio
Factorio
Factorio
Minecraft, Factorio, Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere program have the most real playtime, but idle games have the top slots.
STALKER and The Elder Scrolls probably hold the record. I may have wasted even more time in my life on World of Warcraft, but I feel like that doesn't count since you're just in a fucking trance for several years until you finally break away.
Terraria
The game in my Steam library with the most hours played is.....PAYDAY 2.
But I didn't actually play a thousand hours of it. In the late 2010s, the heat in my condo barely worked and our self-managed association refused to acknowledge it because "nobody else [was] having problems with their heat." I had all the windows plasticed up with heavy blankets literally nailed to the wall. I had to abandon the living room and bedroom entirely. I emptied the smallest room (12x10) and moved my mattress and desk in there...In addition to the playpen for my two rabbits that took up the rest of the free space.
You might be wondering what that has to do with PAYDAY 2. Well....the game revved up my video card to max on the main menu so my PC became a supplementary heat source at night...
Good times. Thanks, PAYDAY devs!
ETA: In the spring, the guy who handled yardwork noticed the flowerbed was kind of sinking on one side of the building. That's when they discovered a leak in the radiator line...small enough that 11 units didn't notice but big enough for the water pressure to not reach the farthest unit from the boiler....the unit I owned...

Craft the world, Valorant and AoE3
EverQuest was my jam back in the day. It ruined highschool for me. Nearly 5 straight years of farming and raids.
I wouldn't do anything different though. I met some awesome people that got me through the awkward years of high school when the internet was still somewhat new.
When I was a teen I played WoW from vanilla through Cata... Had over a full year of in game /played time on just my main.
...and I made a lot of alts.
100% full-blown addicted.
Blizzard is actually the one example of enshittification that I can actually be thankful for - I didn't really ever quit; they just stopped supplying my drug of choice. They definitely had the power to keep me enthralled, but instead shifted to a younger and younger target audience as I was ofc aging the opposite direction.
The Kung-Fu-Panda xpac trailer was finally my cue to accept that my dealer wasn't going to provide that fix anymore.
Then I ~~started making healthy life decisions~~ discovered Ark >_<
Edit - ...Ark owned my life for a bit, too:
