How Do I See How Many Hours Played On PS4

Do you want to flaunt how dedicated you are to a particular game to your buddies or do you just feel like summing up all your playtime to know how much time you actually spend while enjoying your games? Well, I bring you good news, it is very possible, even if Sony makes tracking it quite difficult.

Sadly, there is no way inside the system to access the report of hours played or timestamps for logins on Sony. Even if users can access their public PlayStation profile online through their “My PlayStation” website, this will only reveal what trophies they have earned, the number of friends they have, and other identical information.

However, while it cannot be done through the console itself, it is very much possible to view how much time you’ve spent on your PS4 through a web browser. It can be done using the parental controls feature and we break it down below. See the answer to your How Do I See How Many Hours Played On PS4 question:

How Can I See Hours Played On My PS4?

To see the amount of time spent on your PS4 via the parental controls feature, you have to set up your own PlayStation account (even when you do not own a PlayStation,) then tap “Add Family Member” to add a child account. After that, go through the setup process to connect your accounts.

To confirm how many hours anyone has played, visit the Family Management settings on Sony’s site. Right there, click “Family Management” from the side menu.
