Steam – How to check the first date of a Steam game being played in the library

steam

Finding the most recent date played is simple enough, but is there a way of finding the date of the first instance it was played?

Purchase date doesn't help me in this regard as I rarely play games on the same day as they are bought.

Short answer, nope.

Play sessions are not explicitly tracked by Steam (or, if they are, this data is not accessible on a user level through either the API or an interface), as far as I know they only log the most recent time you've played it which is then overwritten each time you start the application again (while online).

Depending on why you would want this there might be other solutions.
