How to Check Hours Played in Death Stranding 2 (In-Game)
Yes, you can see how many hours you have played the game, but it’s not where you might expect it to be. Here’s how to check the total playtime inside the game:
- Open your map.
- Press left on the D-Pad to open the in-game menu.
- From there, select the SSS tab (which houses your porter ranking and social stats).
- In the Social Strand Service menu, press R1 and navigate continuously until you reach the “Bridge Links” tab.
- Now, select Porter Profile, where you’ll see the Gameplay Stats section.
It shows total playtime and some other key details like the distance you’ve traveled, how high you’ve climbed, and how many structures you’ve built or interacted with.
💡 Tip: You’ll unlock more detailed stats the further you progress in the story, especially after Chapter 3. So if the info seems sparse early on, keep pushing.
How to Check Hours Played on PS5
If flipping through all those in-game tabs is not you like to do, the PS5 dashboard also gives a quick and easy readout of your total playtime, though it’s 100% accurate for games with lots of background running.
Here’s how to find it:
- On PS5 home screen, hover over Death Stranding 2.
- Look toward the bottom right to see a clock icon with your total hours played.
- For a deep look, head to PS5 profile, navigate to the Games tab, and scroll to Death Stranding 2. It’ll show your total time logged right next to your trophy progress.
While not as detailed as the in-game stats, you get a decent snapshot of your obsession—er, dedication this way.
How to Check Your Activity Log in Death Stranding 2
If you’re looking for something more than just a number on a screen, like a breakdown of what you’ve been doing during all these hours, the Activity Log will tell this all.
To access it:
- Open the Map screen again.
- Hit left on the D-Pad to open the menu.
- Scroll all the way to the System section.
- In there, you’ll find the Log option.
This Activity Log is a detailed running list of things you’ve picked up, deliveries made, structure interactions, Chiral Crystal collection, and even when another Porter interacts with your signs, ladders, or ziplines. It’s a running timeline of your journey or a digital journal that keeps track of every step (and stumble) you take.
