Sony has seemingly started testing a new PlayStation 5 feature that allows users to see player counts for games like Call of Duty, Battlefield 6, Minecraft, and more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Rumors that the company could soon roll out a new approach to player data began today after YouTuber Mystic<\/u><\/a> shared footage of a new widget with two tracking options: one for trending titles and one for top 10 games. The former seems to track surges in gameplay hours for specific titles, while the latter shows how many players some games had in the last week.<\/p>\n

Digital storefronts like Steam have been relatively transparent when it comes to player data \u2014 some games have even offered live player counts \u2014 but a concept like this would mark a significant change for PlayStation, specifically. As the feature is seemingly part of a beta test, it’s unclear if it will materialize into an official feature for all PS5 users in the future or fizzle out, never to be heard from again.<\/p>\n
