Last year, Sony opened a webpage where European PS4 owners could create a video, describing various interesting statistics about their gaming habits over the console's lifespan. Those in North America unfortunately missed out on this, but now, another website enables US users to get their very own batch of stats.
This time, the stats shared concern just 2018 rather than your entire history with PS4. Click here to go to the website where, once you've signed into your PSN account, you'll be treated to various neat statistics from last year. These include your total trophy count, the titles you played the most, how much time you spent playing games, even which time of day was your most common period for gaming. It's a nifty page if you interested in that sort of thing. Hopefully Sony can expand the reach to all PSN accounts rather than just North America. Better yet -- let's get this sort of information on the console itself.
There are also reports of people receiving an email with this information, as well as a code for three dynamic themes for your PS4. So, if you have a US account, check your inbox or visit the website to check out your 2018 stats. How do your 2018 stats break down? Are they what you expected? Let us know your results in the comments below.

I hope this sort of info will be implemented on a system level at some point. People are clearly interested in this stuff.
Damn! 147 games played, 1247 hours... no wonder the backlog is growing! I really need to get the kids to bed earlier!
I knew MHW would be my most played game, but seeing RDR2 at 150 hours surprised me. I thought I was at 90
When I click the email I got "the page you requested is not found"
I'm not much of an online/multiplayer gamer, but man I gotta improve my stats there...
My pet hate and only annoyance with PlayStation is this kind of gear and any free themes, competitions etc are region locked. These stats should be available for all users.
If someone knows a logical reason why please tell me, it bugs the absolute hell out of me.
I played 64 games.
My top three games are Monster Hunter World, Rainbow Six: Siege, and Red Dead Redemption 2 with 261 hours, 185 hours, and 152 hours respectively.
I am really surprised I spent that much time with RDR2 last year! Great game, but I must have taken my time with it!
I had 1774 hours played. 1310 of those hours were locally, 464 of those hours were online, and 4 we're in VR.
I should use my VR more, but it's a pain in the ass with an HDR TV, so most of the time I won't bother.
My top genres are Action Adventure, RPG, and FPS.
Oh wow... My longest gaming streak was 14 hours! How? How did I do that, and what was I playing?
I played 306 days out of 365 days. Sounds about right. There was a month where I played no games at all.
Pretty cool.
34 games played; 304 hours of gameplay overall. My top games were Danganronpa V3 at 139, NieR: Automata at 35, and Ratchet and Clank at 19 hours. Favorite genre is apparently the RPG.
All of my hours were single-player.
I clocked 3723 hours in 2018.Action adventure was my most played genre with 50 games,720 trophies earned and 1185 hours spent on them with rpg and FPS coming in second and third.I played a total of 116 different games with division being most played at 590 hours,destiny 2 in second with 496 hours and rdr 2 in third with 178 hours.I played all 365 days of the year with 2858 locally and 865 plus hours online with 13 hours being my longest gaming streak.I earned 1436 trophies broken down as 10 plats,71 gold,275 silver and 1080 bronze.My prime gaming hours was late night and Friday was my prime day.Downloaded 12 free games through plus and saved 72 dollars in sales and discounts. I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone but I finished with the rank of masterful adventurer
Love me some stats, hope they bring this information to everyone. System level would be good but even on the website is fine. The short video was nice but would like more.
On a slightly connected level, did anyone else here get sent a code for a special avatar for platinuming God of War?
Witcher 3 184 hours and i still didnt finish it, thats alot of qwent. I got a email about this and it included a code for 3 free themes. How nice. 😄
Do we get a code for the Dreams beta in the email? 😫
My top game was Berseria with 64 hours played.
@Frigate Surely 77 hours on a game that you didn't enjoy must be a bloody darn good game?
I’m guessing I spent 50% of the time crashing into hangers in Elite Dangerous and the other 50% overshooting planets. 😕
96 games played, 2811 hours
It says my top 3 most played games are
Witcher 3 at 354 hours
Dead by Daylight at 271 hours
Tekken 7 at 237 hours
But I have over 300 hours on MHW, with no mention of it, so I don't think it's really accurate
Edit : these are not my 2018 stats, it's the other one, 5 year ps anniversary thing
rdr2 is my most played game 108 hrs LOL i like to fish
i havent gotten in ac origins been just roaming and slaughtering
1369 hours and not one silver trophy hahahahahahahaha
Oh.... 803 hours spent playing video games. This isn't making me feel good about my self lol.
So cool to get this info. Especially interesting are the plus stats. Literally paid for itself almost twice in my case! Hope we can do this more regularly and not just the end/beginning of the year
333 total hours. I can't remember what the Xbox year in review showed for my hours played. It wasn't quite accurate because my wife will play Overwatch on my account whenever she's done getting loot boxes on her's.
Looking forward to checking this out when I get off work.
I'm disappointed this isn't lifetime stats. I played relatively very little PS4 last year (less than 300 hours), and most of that was just Spider-Man and SotC. I really want to see info about the years when I played a lot of PS4. What's my most played game? Oh well...
So I got Persona 5: 130 hours, RDR2: 70 hours, and BF1, 62 hours.
Battlefield is messed up. It said I played 42 hours online (game played the most online), but I only played a the campaign for 3 hours max, definitely not 20. The others sound right with a couple hours for being left on.
I'm betting FFXV or Dragon's Dogma actually takes third place.
My longest session was 8 too. Sounds about right. That was definitely one of my longer ones too.
I played 72 different games.
Yay, stats!
So my 2018 went like this-
50 different games played.
Top 3 games are Persona 3 FES (230 hours), Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 (132 hours), and WWE 2K17 (122 hours).
Top genres are Fighting (20 games, 93 trophies and 420 hours), RPG, and Action Adventure.
I had 4,322 hours clocked, with 32 of those playing online, the rest locally. I played 14 consecutive hours, and played in 301 days this year.
I play the most at daytime, my prime day being Thursday.
I've earned 574 trophies. 1 platinum, 17 gold, 80 silver, and 476 bronze.
I saved $34 with PS+, and unsurprisingly, the game I played the most online is Tekken 7 at 31 hours.
I'm not gonna do the full monthly summary, but here's where I got the "mosts" in.
Most games- January, 20 games.
Most trophies- December, 94 trophies.
Most hours- March, 478 hours.
I am a Masterful Warrior. If only that translated to my fighting skills.
But yeah, this was a cool thing. Shame it wasn't PlayStation overall, but seeing my stats from 2018 was still fun.
This is something which needs to change with PSN, and which doesn't necessarily need to wait for PS5 - get these things centralised and available globally.
A lot of (all?) non-EU users couldn't generate the "My PS4 Life" video, and apparently non-US users can't access this. Meanwhile, you've got sites like PSNProfiles making these details and much, much more available to everyone.
In 2018 I play 46 different games, my 3 most played games is god of war (76 hours), spider-man (39 hours) and gravity rush 2 (15 hours, mostly playing photo hunt before its offline lol). My top genre is action-adventure, I clocked 235 hours (up from last year), all of it offline with zero hour online gameplay (I tried lost legacy online just a couple of minutes) and vr. Longest game streak is 3 hours (I think my previous record is 4 hours from playing black op 3 single player second campaign). Prime gaming hours late night and prime day is saturday. Amount of $ saved from pslus is $67, which is great since I bought psplus $40 from amazon black fridays. I'm a Masterful Adventurer
@DLB3 Edit: Now I can see the website on chrome mobile, I think that's because I logout and login again from playstation website on pc. Thanks for the info man
I prefer what the EU did, but here we go:
59 different games.
346 hours - Fallout 4
120 hours - Destiny 2
79 hours - Marvels Spider-man
2084 hours of gameplay....86 days? There's no way that is accurate. That equals almost 40 hours of gaming a week, each week, all year. I have an 8 to 5 and family. I might put in 5 hours a week if I'm lucky.
Wow, after reading the comments, I am realizing that I do not put in as much time as I thought on gaming compared to other gamers here (516 hours for me). But these were my top three games and I was surprised by how much I put in the top two because I enjoyed my hours with them so much that I did not realize the time passing:
Red Dead Redemption 2 – 97 hours
God of War – 91 hours
Spider- Man – 58 hours
75 Games
35 Platinums
90 Hours playing Spider-Man
77 Hours playing FFXV
2687 Hours total (240/365 days)
See, I don't think that's correct. That means that the average for each day that I played was over 11 hours. There's no way.
This was marvelous!!! Thanks Sony.
151hrs in MHW 32 diff games. 2906hrs played. I LOVE this stuff!!
Looking at this was fun!
23 games, 706 hours. Top three: GOW (77 hours), A.Creed Origins (74), Far Cry 5 (73).
I was surprised Spidey was not in my top 3 for time, and this was a fun year for gaming!
Most depressing statistic -
6 hours on PSVR
I spent $200 on that headset and camera in February last year. Hardly seems worth it now.
532 hours locally and 0 online would make me think PS+ was a waste but I know a lot of those hours were spent on PS+ Games. And my kids play a lot of PS+ Games as well. PSVR not so much.
Maybe when my PS+ expires next month I'll spend more time playing PSVR games. Or not.
This is pretty cool to have these stats. Most hours put into a game for me in 2018 was Dark Souls, clocking in at 282 hours spent. That was when I got the platinum on PS3 early in 2018, but loved it so much I kept playing NG+ for a long time.
Perhaps crazier though is I clocked 255 hours into the Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ and I just got back into the game mid-November of last year. So I guess I logged 255 hours in a month and a half to close out 2018.
It would have been cooler to get lifetime stats for the five years since the PS4 came out like players in Europe did, but this is cool too.
Of course, this only tells half the story since I got a Switch last year and I'm sure I have spent at least as much time playing on the Switch as on the PS4.
@BearsEatBeets yes on the avatar, even using it instead of my usual triple h one 😀
@Deljo Probably not going to use mine. I got my avatar (similar to one here) on my PS3 and the last time I changed it I had to log back in on my PS3 to put it back. That's not an option any more so if I change it, it's gone.
Doesn’t show me anything. Just says “Thank You” and “Here’s some stats”
Now it says stats for me but says I’ve played 0 games all year (LIES!!!) even though it lists Skyrim, TERA, and The Witcher 3 as my most play. I’d love to see my stats though. Shame is isn’t working properly.
2nd edit lol. Apparently not all mobile browsers will work.
