This isn't an option in the game. I triple checked, and I beat the game a week or so ago, and I still play daily. 

Unless I'm blind 🤷‍♀️

It can probably be done from the xbox main screen though - in fact I know it can   Just cant recall how to explain the button presses - but it's there ... somewhere.  Might be nice for me to find out how sad I am, lol

At the home screen (or in the menu) press start on the game, go to (I think it says "official clubs" now), then go over to achievements (rb). From there you can view your stats.

For RDR2 it shows game time, gold medals earned, story completion, and total completion. I wish they had shown more (body count, compendium stuff, etc), but most games don't seem to utilize the stats very well.

Not sure if you can on ps4.

Cheers, truth.  In the Social Club, if signed up, it keeps stats of gang members killed, which is as close as body count as you can get, I guess.

I haven't bothered looking there... I'll check that out!

I finally tried installing that companion app this morning, but my phone is too dumb for it apparently...

PS4 does not have an easy way to see how many hours you have played a particular game. If any at all. There is a weekly email update from PlayStation, you can search for PlayStation weekly in your email to find it. But that will only have the total hours played of everything. It will read "Hours Played: X#". This value might include total time your PS4 is on, and without a game playing. Your save game file might include the total time played for that particular save game file. I sort of recall seeing that number for some of my games. But not all of them. That value isn't going to account for my time messing around trying something out and reverting to an earlier save. I wish it had something like Steam does. Where your total time played is easily seen, right next to your game in the Steam library.

Just checked my playtime:

Spoiler

6days and 1hr

i just installed that like 10 minutes ago myself.  You can view the manual, achievements, progress, strat guide, etc. but for the good stuff like the live map you have to sync it with your game.

Yeah, I don't know how to tell with PS4 either.  .....if there is even a way.  The R* Social Club should have this information but it doesn't.

I go by how much alcohol I've consumed.

Right now, I'm at about 35 drinks since the game launched three weeks ago.

So... Like 45 minutes? 2 hours?

Edited November 14, 2018 by Truth
45 minutes sounded too fast to be in chapter 2...

I never count my drinks.  ....probably why I'm always surprised when the beer runs out in the fridge.  Luckily my wife takes care of that for me.

I just checked my Xbox says I have played for 4 days 2 hours and 51 minutes, the scary thing is that I am only at 65% on the main story! By the way, this is the best game I have ever played, and more than that the story and writing is fantastic. All the little nuances and subtle complexities to the characters is astounding.

Lucky you.  If I let Mrs. Creed control the alcohol stock in Casa de Creed, we'd have nothing but gin and Whiteclaw.

A far cry from the days of our courtship when her fridge was magical and never seemed to run out of Guinness...

Hey. I found a way to check the playtime on the PS4. Install the companion app on your phone and long into it using your Rockstar Social Club account. Then select 'Progress'. A webpage will open and you should be able to see your playtime immediately.
