PlayStation 5 Removes Playtime Tracker for Disc Games After Recently Played Bug

Summary
Multiple PS5 users reported this weekend that playtime tracking disappeared for physical disc-based games, while digital titles were not cited as affected.
Sony appears to have triggered the issue after removing the entire Recently Played widget, a response to an error that added random games to players’ activity lists.
Some players said deleting and reinstalling affected games restored the tracker, while others said PlayStation Support acknowledged the glitch and is working on a fix.
The bug lands days after Sony signaled a stronger push away from physical games, making the timing especially awkward even though reports point to a technical error rather than a policy change.
