PlayStation 2019 Wrap-Up: How to see your year in PS4 gaming

We haven’t yet hit the onslaught of video game releases for 2020, with those not really starting until around March. While you wait for new games, however, PlayStation is giving you the chance to reminisce on your last year in gaming with its PlayStation 2019 Wrap-Up.

The PlayStation 2019 Wrap-Up gives you a snapshot of your 2019 gaming history on PlayStation 4, breaking down your time spent playing various games, sorting them into categories, and even providing you with a neat title that you can wear proudly to show your love for a particular genre.

Getting your own PlayStation 2019 Wrap-Up is remarkably simple. Here’s how to do it.

How to view your PlayStation 2019 Wrap-Up

In order to view your PlayStation 2019 Wrap-Up, all you have to do is follow this link to the official PlayStation website. From there, log in with the same account credentials you use for the PlayStation account on PS4, wait a few seconds, and all of your information will be displayed on the page.

At the very head of the page, you’ll see your top three most-played games of the year. In our case, it was MLB The Show 19, followed by Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Below that, your top genre will be selected and it will give you information on how many games you played in that genre, as well as your total playtime and trophies you earned in the genre.

The PlayStation 2019 Wrap-Up provides your total hours of gameplay across all titles as well and shows how many hours were played locally, how many were in PlayStation VR, your longest marathon, and on how many days you played during the year. However, the information on online play appears to be inconsistent — ours said we never played online all year, which is not true.

Lastly, you’ll see information on the total number of trophies you earned across all four categories, as well as the total number of free games you downloaded through PlayStation Plus. For us, that total was higher than the number of games we played in 2019, so we can stay busy for months to come, if not years.

There have been a lot of signs that Sony hasn't been investing a lot of resources into VR, specifically its PlayStation VR2 headset, and according to a new report, the situation might be worse than previously believed.

In an Android Central article published Thursday, sources said that Sony was slashing budgets related to VR and that there would be "very few opportunities for VR game development" in the future. Another source mentioned that there were only two PSVR2 games in development at the company.

It's the middle of the month, so that means Sony just dropped a batch of new titles into the game catalog for PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra. While these additions aren't as high profile as some earlier months of the year, this group of new PS Plus games still has some winners that stand out as the cream of the crop. There are three games in particular that are worth hopping into this weekend.

First is a game from Capcom that will allow you to better understand the jump from Monster Hunter: World to Monster Hunter Wilds. Then, we have a classic Ubisoft open-world game that can get you primed for the release of Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows later in 2024. Finally, there's a PlayStation VR2 game about kayaking that offers a relaxing virtual experience for those looking for an excuse to put on the VR headset.

With a new Monster Hunter game on the horizon, have you been wondering about where to start with this long-running Capcom series? This month's PlayStation Plus catalog can help with that.

It can be tough to figure out where to start with Monster Hunter, not only because there are multiple spinoff titles but also because there are a lot of options. The upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds is set to release in 2025, with Capcom promising its biggest-ever maps, new dual-wielding combat capabilities, and a lot more. If you can't wait until then, there's always Monster Hunter Rise, which is the headliner of Sony's updated PlayStation Plus catalog releasing on June 18.
