Only previously it wasn’t visible outside of viewing a game/product’s store page and you couldn’t go into it and view the friends listed (which you can do on PS4).

Friends who own game: 7+. go to click.... oh wait. LOL. time is fixed tho and i followed a dudes video for the equation: -------- Hours played total ÷ how long ago 1st trophy earned was. = Answer #1. Answer # 1 ÷ 365 = Avg play per day (round up if needed)Avg play time per day: 9047hr ÷ 14 = 671.92 (round up... 672) 672 ÷365 = 1.8hrs a day i spend on average gaming?

mrmivo Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 10 hours ago, Infected Elite said: Not sure why time played is so important to some In my case, it is because I like statistics. I collect playtime, purchase prices, discounts, and some other data in a spreadsheet that processes the information and spits out various stats and graphs. Accessing the playtime data directly on the console, in one nice list, would be easiest. I fixed the problem by using PS-Timetracker, but I’d still prefer to get accurate data from the system directly instead of having to rely on a third party service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMichigan Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 It's baffling that Nintendo figured this out with the 3DS and Wii U while the other companies can't keep up. Just about the only way Nintendo is ahead of the curve. Unfortunately, Nintendo only shows hours played in increments for your most recent 20 titles on Switch. I would love for them to go back to the 3DS Activity Log or at least the Daily Log of the Wii U. The time played on my PS5 has really been screwing up lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems fixed now. However the "Friends who Play" shows "no one plays this" for every game LOL It's not that it's "important" because frankly it isn't, but it's more so that this is a feature that regularly breaks and you'd think that Sony would want to ensure a feature on their console works properly, especially now that it's shown more prominently under game tiles on the main dashboard for the player to see right when they log on to their PS5. It's more so just an annoyance for me that when it breaks and I play a game for 20+ hours it can just not even show that I've even played it for more than an hour. This is a feature that should just be tracking automatically on our side anyways. It's always accurate on Switch for example even if they only go by increments of 5 hours (but you can even track the full hours on the Parental Controls Switch app). It's been working pretty well since the latest firmware update and actually updating immediately so I'm hopeful with the UI changes and backend stuff have sorted out the issues, but we'll see if it lasts. At the end of the day it's not a vital feature by any means, but Sony should absolutely have engineers monitoring PSN features like this to ensure they're working properly because it's a bad look when they let these types of things continually break long term.

Nute202- Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) It's fixed for me, but I feel like I have extra hours now lol Edit: Yeah, it's definitely randomly adding extra hours for some reason. Edited March 17, 2023 by Nute202- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squarevii87 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Does time played count if the game runs and for example you go to ps store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Profeelgood Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Just platinumed Legend of Dragoon recently. My in game time says 45 hours. And it seems to be ticking normally. But the ps5 says 22 hours. Never played offline or anything. It's just kind of annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronM1tchell Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) So I've posted in this thread a lot recently, but largely the time tracking has been ok of late. For some reason today I have had a single hour deducted from the time played for at least half of my whole library (I keep track with a spreadsheet and pstimetracker), with some games being last played 7 years ago. Has anyone else experienced this? My thoughts are its a change in rounding up/down that's been brought in since they've started displaying play time on the home screen. EDIT: So GT7 is showing on my home screen as 100h (correct), but when I go into my profile --> games, hours played shows as 99h Edited March 24, 2023 by CameronM1tchell Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can only be a bug and I hope it fixes itself because the actual games page on the Home Screen says that the played time is different, showing 1 more hour played. I hate the fact that this feature either never works or when it does, it is so poor that I would rather they just remove it. My Final Fantasy Crisis Core still shows 5h played despite having platinum and played over 50h. Edited March 25, 2023 by Mr_Mondee- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real_Colinio Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Has the time tracker stopped updating for anyone else on the home screen?

This is the same for me. Most of the time for me the time played is accurate. However, sometimes if the game time is inaccurate, it either fixes the time after a day or so or when i switch on the console again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernofeuer1 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Playtime tracking on ps5 is again buggy, my guess always shortly after a System Update. It worked so well and accurate the past few months now the disaster is starting again ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
