How to check hours played on PS5 in 2021?

The PlayStation 5 is one of the biggest console launches of recent memory. The console is in high demand and always out of stock from vendors. The PS5 is a major upgrade to the last-gen in terms of specs, raw power, graphics, performance, etc. The design of the console is also one of the biggest overhauls.

Free Games Coming to PS5

According to a report by Video Games Chronicle, many players using the PlayStation 5 console have been receiving emails from Sony informing them that Death Stranding: Directors Cut and Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be available for users to download as a free game trial during the month of October. Likewise, the report also states that any of the DLCs purchased during the trial are only going to be playable if the full game is purchased after the trial ends. This means that players who download the games are only able to play the games during the trial period for a limited time, after which they can choose to purchase the full game and continue progressing through the game.

Coming to the main topic of this article, activity tracking and time played are features and information that are important to most players. One of the features that were missing on the last-gen PlayStation 4 console was the ability to track a player’s activity on the console. The console had a feature to check achievements but not a feature to track the hours clocked on the console.
