>Sony is about to surface more data about the PS5's ecosystem than we've ever seen before, with a new Welcome Hub widget that's currently in beta. While this isn't identical to Steam's concurrent player numbers, the new optional addition – spotted and shown by YouTuber Mystic here – reveals the top ten games in your country, with total player numbers for the week.While the widget is only available to select beta testers right now, the aforementioned video reveals the following for the US:Fortnite: 14.6mGTA 5: 5.13mMinecraft: 4.97mCall of Duty: 4.95mApex Legends: 1.72mMarvel Rivals: 1.58mBattlefield 6: 1.51mARC Raiders: 972k>As mentioned above, this data is accurate for the US only, so you'll see different results depending on where you live. (EA Sports FC is likely to trend highly in Europe and the UK, for example.)>It's also worth noting this data is different to the concurrent players you see on Steam; this is the total number of players per week, so anyone who booted up any of the aforementioned games at least once in the last seven days will contribute to the number.Are you excited for Playstation's version of steam charts?
it's time...to CHANGE THE NARRATIVE
ban playstation chart threads
"Ban steam charts" sisters... we're losing ground again....
Apologize.
Uhh marathonbros??? If steam and playstation show the numbers, how do we shift the narrative????
>>738932330It’s only the top 10 games?
>>738932198lol prepare for the propoganda
>>73893238380 morbillion players are actually all on Xbox!
>>738932383It's a known fact that ~70% of Marathon players are on PC.More now, since more harcore extracitonfags linger on PC.
>>738932198While I find charts disgusting. You can't deny the FOMO they're creating on Steam
>>738932198I'm excited to see you bakayaro to lie through your teeth
>new wokeslop releases>OH MY FAUCI 6 MILLION PLAYERS? CHUDS ARE FINISHED! I'M HAVING A BLAST(tm)Fun
>here's Sony's new charts>do not look into it
>weekHoly cheating
>>738932438Sony is a public company and they cant lie about that shit or they would get sued
>>738932198rare sony W
>>738932198Battlecucks will never beat COD
>>738932198I'm excited to see this shit ripped apart
>>738932198and magically shit games no one likes like Assasin's creed Floid will have millions of concurrent players i bet.Steamcharts works because it's independent from steam. If it wasn't, steam could manipulate those numbers to push specific games and you know sony WILL do exactly that.
>>738932559they can lie to you the customer
Why show only the top 10? It will be same live service slop and new releases
>>738932317love to see that one obsessed nigger getting btfo. on topic though, no way is Sony doing this. most publishers hate steam for it
>>738932198>people still play ApexThat game sucks ass
>>738932559isn't that why Sony of Japan?
>>738932559>>738932631isn't that why Sony was kicked out of Japan?
>>738932559You don't think Sony has separate private data for their shareholders that isn't public to plebs like you?
>>738932330
>>738932401I doubt they'll show more than the top 10 because of how hard the drop-off is. Even just within the top 10 the difference between 1 and 10 is already a 93% drop.
>>738932468YIKES
>>738932559Certainly, this is why laws have been put in place - murdering someone is physically impossible because it's illegal to do so. Same with lying to shareholders, you can't actually do it since it's been outlawed.
>>738932606To create the fear of missing out for new releases
>>738932198>total player numbers for the weekThat’s such stupid metric. It’s probably better than nothing, but it really doesn’t say anything useful. Example: Someone who logs in and logs out immediately is equivalent to someone who has been playing the game for 10 hours a day.
hey Sony even normal people in the United States you. literal bird shit
as an American I think Sony sucks ass
>>738932768common esl sony melty
>>738932768Makes you wonder how often they have their windows cleaned if there's that much bird shit from a couple of nests.
>>738932875that was their Japanese HQ. imagine how bad it is in their new California HQ. probably surrounded by fags and homeless criminals who shit in the streets
>>738932198Will the number be presented in such a way that it makes it illegal for Sony to lie? By that I mean, will it use language that would make false numbers count as fraud to investors? Probably not, so these numbers will be untrustworthy.
>please respect our propoganda
>>738933052I don't believe it will. Just my opinion. Sony will constantly lie all the time forever
hope you guiz know Sony is an American California company now. they got kicked out of Japan
great, even more salesnumber shitpostinglook at the weekly famitsu threads to get a taste of what's to come
>>738933441it's going to be hilarious
>>738932198>we'll officially see that snoys don't play Sony games kek
>>738933052Yeah. It just counts every player who’s logged into the game over the past week, so you’ll end up with millions of players. I guess tens and hundreds of thousands don’t look particularly prestigious.Also given that we know Fortnite is the most popular game even on the playstation, we can say with a fair degree of certainty that CS and Dota are the most popular games on the planet right now
Roblox
>all live service gamesI hate it
>>738933692DAU is a meme
its actually sickening how stuck gen z and a are in a few gamesnever ever playing anything else, an entire industry of singleplayer games ignoredit gets even worse when you look at roblox numbers
battlefield bros...
>>738933779good, keep these zombies far away from good games or else they will shit them up too
>>738933779Eh it's already been done by millennials with counter strike, league of legends, and wow. They still do it to this day in fact.
>>738932198>Valve, like Nintendo, does nothing>everybody loses their shit and starts copying them while failing at itHow does one company keep winning so hard?
>>738933692as stupid as it is. anyone can make a game on that....
>>738934072
>those GTAV numbersjesus christ, and they had layoffs? The game is making them so much money more than a decade laterGaming is so dead. All live service, MTX ridden slopfest
>>738933779>an entire industry of singleplayer games ignoredList 10 Gen Z should be paying $70 to play.
>>738932198So... how much will they alter the data for marketing purposes?
>>738934210on a scale to 1? 100%
>>738934072It amuses me how Nintendo fanboys try to stick their noses in everywhere, even though Nintendo isn’t any better than Sony.
I don't believe a single intelligent person would trust Sony at this point.
>>738932198IIRC during the PS3 era is was so easy to get the player counts of PS games as long as they had trophies that that is the reason PS3 Users in PSN profiles are the most accurate, and afterwards this was removes which is the reason that PSNprofiles player counts are way down on PS4/5.
>>738932198For what purpose? All it's going to do is skew even more impressionable players towards those 10 games and it's going to look the same every week except for maybe the last place.
>>738934207the last time I payed $90 for a game was xenoblade 2, original physical.
>>738934359they would be very foolish to lie about these numbers, if they get caught once they get sued.
>>738934445what are they doing? they're ran by morons
>>738932198can anyone show me overwatch? I always hear about MUH CONSOLE PLAYERS but its starting to look like that's a lie.
>>738934445>>738934485they're going to get shit on so bad
>>738932198>Marvel Rivals: 1.58mwtfbut /v/ told me it was dead
Sony DB is going to be crushed by real world information. this has to be a meme . they can't be this stupid... right?
does Sony California even care? do they get tax breaks, and pay outs? Seema like scam
My personal theory why they are doing this now of all times.They want the headlines in the news of "gta 6 30 million players playing on ps5" to create a sense of FOMO in normalfags to push many more extra millions of (console) sales
>>738934753I think you're on to something.
>>738932198This is far from being the same as live playercountsIt's monthly active usersAKA total bullshit metric which won't show that games die as fast as they do, and will favor live service crap due to edging the troons with content so they log in every month and so the MAU stays active despite nobody playing these piece of shit tranny liveservices
>>738932198I wouldn't trust it anyway. Because why would they even do this and expose their own devs like this? Unless they are planning to fill it with bots and pretend their games are doing great.
>>738932317KEK
>>738934329Nintendo is also winning, so yes, they're far better than Sony. PlayStation and Xbox are in desperation mode because their dogshit era is finally coming to an end.
>>738934921>couldn't read two sentences>thinks he has something important to sayyou're retarded friend.
>>738935752>mindbroken tranny screeching about some shit i wont bother even reading
>>738936260I'll feed you, worthless baby, it says "with total player numbers for the week."
>>738936702Holy buckbrokenStill not reading
>>738932198no way there's 14 million children with PS5s
>>738937065Right, I forgot that Rape-publicans can't read, so I'm wasting my time.
>>738937478The thing is still typing lol what a mentally obsessed freak, thank god these things take themselves out
>>738932198>Marvel Rivals: 1.58mbased!
>>738932262Gonna be funny when X-box follows suit but nobody cares since their charts are like 5,000 players each.
>HERE IS PROPAGANDA FOR OUR STRONGEST SOLDIERS TO USE TO SPAM AND SHITPOST ON A MONGOLIAN PORN CARTOON FORUM!
>>738932198That will horribly backfire on the->with total player numbers for the week.Never mind, they realized this will horribly backfire so it's really just showing you some random numbers instead, kek
>>738932724Yeah, that's why the joke doesn't work. If Steam is that dead, Playstation is WORSE.
>yfw the Halo re-remastered for PS5 has a higher player count than Marathon
>>738934072They simply offer a good service, and they can easily do that because they are primarily a platform (low running expenses) and have such a market dominance that they can act in the interest of their customers rather than the devs.Valve doesn't need to obfuscate any numbers or shit like that because why would they, it's not their problem. If the customer wants to see concurrent players, let him. It's the devs problem if their PvP slop is now shown as only having 100 currently active users and people don't buy it because they don't want to be stuck in a queue for half an hour.
>>738934921They aren't even saying "uniques", so they might even be counting the 7 times some kid logs in separately. >>738934510Doesn't rank top 10. Less than 1m.
>>738934072Their CEO spends time playing videogames and there are no shareholders to impress.
>>738932198Steam should start showing the weekly unique users too, as that number might be even more damning than CCU in some cases.
>>738938137Sales and engagement bait are still king of social media in 2026. It won't end for at least another 5 years.
>>738932198Of course, the way they'll tally it is by counting anyone who so much as booted the game for a second across the whole week. They'll present that number as individual total players hoping you don't wonder if some people were counted multiple times.
>>738939429You can easily inflate that number by sharing games on 1 pc. You can't do that on CCU.
>>738932559They magically added 5 millions to PS2 numbers in a single night, 13 years after end of production
>>738932198>Fortnite: 14.6m>GTA 5: 5.13m>Minecraft: 4.97m>Call of Duty: 4.95m>Apex Legends: 1.72m>Marvel Rivals: 1.58m>Battlefield 6: 1.51m>ARC Raiders: 972kquick question, which of these games do I need a PS5 to play?
>>738940993AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>738935338>Nintendo is winning >Stock price in free fall >About to sell switch 1 in India
>>738940993oh no no no no no no...
>>738932198So it gives the #of players per week? So not daily concurrents but total amount logging and playing over 7 days?
>>738940993MASSIVE TRVKE
>>738940993I've been saying for a while that nobody buys a PS5 for exclusives. It's not Nintendo. Completely different market audience.Even Xbox players have higher exclusive attachment rates.
>>738940993BA-BAKANA!
>>738940993For all intents and purposes, GTA and Resident Evil are Sony exclusives.
>>738941156It's not like you can play those games on Nintendo consoles.
>>738941156>It's not Nintendo.People don't buy switch for exclusives, they buy switch because it's Nintendo, the company already proved people will buy cardboard with their logo on it.
>>738941657>It's not like you can play those games on Nintendo consoles.Right but my point is the people buying Switch 2s are not interested in those games anyway. The 3rd party games the switch/swi2ch does have sell poorly, as opposed to on PS5 where they're the main focus.
>>738941745Both are true.Platoon would be a dead ip if it was a multiplat.
>>738932198This is probably the most exciting gaming related news for this board in a while.
>>738932198>None of the top played games are sony exclusivesLmfao
>>738932198>buy playstation>play only fortnite on itgrim.
>>738941080Unique players per week yes. If I play 7 days of the week, I still only count as 1 unique person for the statistic.
>number fags threads are going to be even more common nowit's over for this board
>>738932198Yeah well right now is a piece of shit.
>>738940993Why would that matter
Marathon bros..
>>738932198youll note marathon isnt there.
I predict that the first "glitch" to show inaccurate numbers will be for Druckman's scifi tranny/gay pornographic interactive film.
