Now, the recentPlayStation 5 system updatehas changed the way your game time is displayed, making it part of your user profile instead, allowing everyone to see which games you tend to play the most, and making it much easier to share your stats.

Other features introduced in the update include new accessibility features, new audio options, new ways to connect with other players, new options to customise multiplayer sessions, and new support for larger-capacity M.2 SSDs, all of which were included in the patch notes.

While most fans will likely be happy that it’s easier than ever to see how much time their friends have spent on certain games, or more specifically the top three games they’ve played the most, some may be hoping for a toggle to make that information private.

Whether that’s a planned feature or not is unknown, though fans will now have to pay close attention to their PS5’s UI when future software updates drop, just in case there are any bonus features not detailed in the patch notes.
