Sometimes I just don’t get it—like, Sony’s rolled out this fresh update for some PS5 folks, and it’s got this widget thing. A card, basically, stuck right in the Welcome Hub. Shows game stats, and other bits and bobs about your recently-played stuff. Weirdly interesting, right?
So, anyway, they say this new PS5 feature update is in beta as of May 2025. Not everyone’s got it yet, though. It’s like a secret club or something. You peek into gaming forums, and it’s all over social media with these screenshots people keep sharing. Oh, and the widget? Here’s what’s showing up:
– How far you’ve gotten into a game, percentage-wise.
– Your trophy stats—like, the rarest one you’ve snagged. Fancy, huh?
– Total time played, but knowing Sony, who knows how spot-on that is.
– Friends playing the same game (do you even like these people?)
– Count of in-game screenshots snapped (trophy moments, anyone?).
– Total gaming sessions logged.
This makes me think of how Sony can’t ever seem to get the gameplay hours right. Like, fingers crossed they fix that. I mean, who really keeps track, but still.
Automatic screenshots of trophies? Yeah, counts those too—unless you’ve disabled it. It’s like the widget just grabs all this scattered data from the PS5 UI and plunks it in one spot. Handy, I guess.
Oh, I should mention, no need to hit download to get this thing. Magically pops up in the Welcome Hub. Easy peasy.
