When Sony launched PlayStation 5, they finally let people see their tracked playtime across all their old PS4 games (and now PS5). But the problem is that these times often appear very inaccurate, especially when some games offer an in-game clock which proves how off the PS5's numbers are. So what exactly is going on here? Allow me to (with many assumptions and crude testing) explain that. (Parentheses are fun). (Boink).
