Brand New PS5 Update Adds a Feature That Steam Users Have Had for Years

Sony is testing a beta PS5 update that adds a player-count widget to the Welcome Hub.

The widget shows a Trending list based on recent gameplay-hour spikes and a weekly Top 10 of most-played games.

It gives PS5 users a rare official view of game popularity on console, similar to Steam charts.

The feature could also fuel fresh debates and comparisons over which games are really on top.
