PS5 Keeps Track of Total Playtime for Each Game | Game Rant

With the launch just days away, new information about the PS5 is starting to pour out into the wild. New UI features, quality of life improvements, and other details are steadily being confirmed, with PS5 reviews painting a better picture of what fans can expect from the console. One of these new features is a playtime tracker that shows how long players have spent in a game.

First reported by Push Square, the feature displays the total playtime hours spent in a game. Apparently, the tracking will also backdate by a few years, so fans should even be able to see how much time they invested in some of their older games. It’s a surprisingly solid improvement, and has also made an appearance on the Nintendo Switch.

Playtime is something gamers tend to brag about with their favorite games, with fans of games like Overwatch, DOTA, and plenty of others using it as a sort of badge of honor to show their dedication. It’s a surprising omission from the PS4 and Xbox One, and while some games track the stats on their own, having it become standard across an entire console is nice to see.

PlayStation kept details about the PS5’s UI pretty sparse until just a few weeks ago, when the company finally gave fans a deep dive into its interface. It’s a pretty big departure from the one found in the PS4, with smaller improvements like playtime tracking emphasizing that point. The UI looks a lot more elegant, though, which is almost certainly meant to correlate with the PS5‘s futuristic look.

The console’s launch is now just a few days away, with Amazon updating shipping notifications for customers, indicating that they’ll be leaving warehouses soon. It’s a big time for the games industry, ushering in a new era of hardware and games that will last for years. Luckily, the PS5 and Xbox Series X seem like big generational leaps, and that should get fans excited for the future.

It hasn’t been all good news, an image of a PS5 supposedly overheating at a Best Buy started circulating earlier today, though so far it doesn’t seem to be indicative of a larger issue. The real test will be when the console rolls out globally, however, as the control group is currently too small to tell. Launch consoles have had issues in the past, and while one can hope that doesn’t happen this time around, it’s hard to tell this early.

PS5 launches on November 12.
