Honestly, it’s that time again. Everyone’s social feed is suddenly a sea of blue infographics, and you’re probably wondering why your "gaming style" is labeled as a Brawler when you spent half the year hiding in bushes in Assassin's Creed. Sony just dropped the PlayStation Wrap Up 2024, and it’s a bit different this time around.
The site went live on December 10, 2024, and yeah, it was a mess at first. Typical Sony, right? The servers basically melted as everyone tried to log in at once to see just how many hours they’ve actually "wasted" (or invested, let's be real) since January. But once you get past the loading errors, there's some genuinely cool stuff in here that goes way beyond just a list of your top five games.
Why This Year’s Wrap Up Is Different
You’ve seen these recaps before, but 2024 marks PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. Because of that, the whole experience has this slick retro aesthetic. It’s not just about what you did this year; they’ve added historical stats. Basically, Sony is calling us out by showing the total number of games we’ve played since the day we created our PSN accounts.
For some of us, that number is... humbling.
The interface is broken down into about 10 distinct tabs. You get the usual suspects: total hours played, top five games, and your most-earned trophy types. But they also added a "Monthly Calendar" view. It’s a month-by-month breakdown of your gaming life. It shows your "Game of the Month" for every single month of 2024, which is a great way to remember that brief, intense obsession you had with Helldivers 2 back in March before you moved on to something else.
The Big Games That Ruled 2024
If you look at the community-wide data surfacing from these wraps, a few patterns are obvious. Fortnite is still the king of playtime—no surprise there. It’s the game that simply won't die. However, for standalone 2024 releases, Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are dominating the "Most Played" slots in almost everyone's summary.
Interestingly, Roblox made a massive dent this year after its PlayStation debut. It’s become a top-ten staple for a much younger demographic on the console. Then you have the late-year heavy hitters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and EA Sports FC 25 that managed to rack up hundreds of hours in just a couple of months.
How to Get Your Stats and Rewards
If you haven't checked yours yet, you need to head over to the official site at wrapup.playstation.com. You have until January 12, 2025, to grab your data before the site goes dark.
Here is the catch: You actually have to meet some requirements to see your stats.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to have played at least 10 hours of games on a PS4 or PS5 during 2024.
- You must have "Full Data" collection enabled in your console settings.
If you didn’t have that setting on, you might be out of luck for the personalized stats, which is a total bummer.
Don't Ignore the Free Stuff
Sony is actually giving away digital goodies for finishing the wrap-up this year. Once you click through all the slides, you get a voucher code. This code unlocks a 30th-anniversary-themed avatar and a PlayStation Stars digital collectible.
A quick tip: the code isn't actually unique. If the site is still glitching for you, people have been sharing the regional codes online. For Europe, it’s usually Q237-5LR9-357P, and for the Americas, it’s KHKG-H25M-5757. Just pop those into the "Redeem Code" section of the PlayStation Store and you're golden.

The PlayStation Stars Warning
While we’re talking about the PlayStation Wrap Up 2024, we have to talk about the elephant in the room: PlayStation Stars. Sony recently updated their terms, and the program is actually winding down. You can only earn points until July 2025, and the whole thing officially ends in November 2026.
If your wrap-up shows you’ve been sitting on a mountain of points, spend them now. Don't wait. Use them to get PSN store credit or specific games before the rewards catalog starts thinning out. Points earned after October 2024 now have a strict 12-month expiration date too.
What Your "Gaming Style" Really Says
Sony’s algorithm for your "Gaming Style" is a bit of a meme. If you played more than two shooters, you’re an "Action Hero." If you touched a single JRPG, you’re a "Role Player."
But the real value is in the social stats. The wrap-up shows how you compare to the rest of the world. Did you earn more trophies than 90% of players? Were you in the top 5% of Elden Ring players for time spent? It’s pure vanity, sure, but it’s the kind of data that makes the community feel alive.
Actionable Next Steps
- Check your privacy settings now. If you missed out on this year's stats because of data settings, go to your PS5 Settings > Users and Accounts > Privacy and set "Data You Provide" to "Full." This ensures you're ready for the 2025 recap.
- Redeem your 30th Anniversary Avatar. Even if you don't like the stats, the avatar is a limited-time item that won't be available after mid-January.
- Audit your PS Stars points. Open the PS App on your phone, check your point balance, and see if you have enough for a $5 or $20 wallet top-up.
- Share your Summary Card. If you’re looking for new people to play with, posting your card on X (Twitter) or Reddit is the easiest way to find people with similar "Gaming Styles."
The PlayStation Wrap Up 2024 is basically a digital scrapbook. It’s a reminder of the nights you stayed up too late on a "one more match" binge and the games that actually got you through the year. Just make sure you grab your rewards before the link expires on January 12.
