PlayStation 5 'Hours played' feature broken, inaccurate or not updating for some players

Here’s the crux of the article in video form

The PlayStation 5 is one of the most popular gaming consoles in the world, and it has many features that have made it a favorite among players.

It comes with an incredibly useful feature that allows players to see the number of hours they’ve spent playing any game.

The ‘Hours Played’ feature can be found under the trophies icon and is used by many players. But, it seems that a lot of players are experiencing a persistent problem with this feature in particular.

PlayStation 5 Hours Played feature not working

According to numerous reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7), the feature is either not updating, displaying inaccurate data, or not showing the ‘Hours played’ data at all.

The issue has been ongoing for a while now, and affected players have taken to social media and online forums to express their frustration with the problem.

In some cases, the feature does not update the data after a point, making it harder for players to track the number of hours they’ve put in playing games.

The problem is not limited to a particular game or a specific set of games, as players have reported that the feature is not working for all games.

It seems that the issue has been ruining the experience of players for quite some time. We have come across reports that are 11 months old and the issue yet prevails.

However, despite the widespread complaints the developers of PlayStation 5 have yet to acknowledge the issue.

This has left many players feeling frustrated, as they have no way of getting an accurate account of the time they have spent playing their favorite games.

We hope Sony is able to find the cause of the Hours Played feature’s problem on PlayStation 5 and fixes it as soon as possible.

Stay tuned to this story until then as we will post further developments here as and when we come across any.
