PS5 Recently Played Stays Down for 2 Weeks After Sony's June 15 Fix

2 articles · Updated · PlayStation LifeStyle · Jun 28

Summary

  • Two weeks after Sony restored PlayStation’s Recently Played section, the feature still fails on PS5 and the PS App, blocking users from tracking campaign completion and trophy progress there.
  • A June 15 fix for a PS Store and library glitch—one that briefly showed unpurchased, sometimes explicit games—appears to have broken the feature, with players saying recent play history no longer registers correctly.
  • Disc and digital titles both seem affected, though most complaints are coming from disc users; on PS5, the Welcome Hub widget is largely useless and players must check progress by hovering over game tiles.
  • At least a dozen new Reddit threads surfaced over the past day, and Sony has not publicly acknowledged the problem or given any timeline for a repair.
