Overview
- Sony is trialing a Welcome Hub widget on PS5 that lists the top 10 games in each country and a separate view for titles surging in activity.
- YouTuber Mystic’s video shows the beta displaying weekly player totals, with Fortnite at about 14.6 million players in the United States.
- The metric counts anyone who launched a game in the past seven days rather than concurrent players, which differs from Steam’s live player charts.
- The trending view highlights sharp spikes after updates or promotions, with examples shown like Company of Heroes 3 up 249% in gameplay hours and Overwatch up 255% in matches.
- Sony has not said if PS4 data is included or if the feature will roll out widely, and outlets caution the early figures and design could change during testing.
