PS5's Welcome screen is what greets you each time you log into your console, and it's remained mostly unchanged since its introduction — but it seems Sony is readying a brand new widget.

Some users, presumably those signed up to PlayStation's beta program, have received an update to the Welcome hub, adding a new widget to the page.

The new feature was captured by Reddit user MFTLrage:

The Recently Played widget, currently in beta, shows you some stats and info about the last game you booted up.

As we can see from the images, the widget provides a broad view of game progression, Trophy progression, time played, number of friends who play, number of screenshots, and number of sessions.

We imagine this update to the Welcome hub will roll out to everybody in the near future. Whether any other changes are incoming remains to be seen.
