Players of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, let's compare our playtimes as seen on both the in-game clock and the PS5 system clock

[AuthenticM]

The devs of FF7 Rebirth thought of players who get anxious about their playtime not being accurately reflected on the clock if they leave the game running while they are not playing: the in-game clock freezes after three minutes of inactivity from the player. That's great! I think it might be the first time I notice a game do this? Let me know which other games do this as well.

Anyways. While the in-game clock freezes itself after three minutes of inactivity, the ps5 system clock, on the other hand, does not. I thought it would be fun to compare both times to see who lets their game run in the background the most.

Here are my times:

In-game clock: 170:56:18
PS5 system clock: 230h

lol

I don't understand mine.

Game save: 16hr 48min
System: 14hr

 

[Gorger]

PS5 clock says : 360 hours
In-game it was two people playing two separate playthroughs One playthrough at just over 100 hours and one a bit over 200 hours.

Platinum was earned.

 

[AwwBubbles]

In-game clock: 123:14
PS5 system clock: 135h
Loved every second of it.

Ps5 clock can be super bunk. But I do remember my in game time was 69 hours.

The ps5 clock was like 5 hours less I noticed it never changed after 1 play session

 

[Sirank]

PS5 system clock: 152h
in game clock: 146:29:40

Honestly didn't seem like I Played it THAT much. Time flew by I guess.

 

[Zonic]

In game clock was like 139 hours when I got the platinum. PS5 clock says 141. Weird how it's off by two hours.

 

[antitrop]

In-game clock: 194
PS5 clock: 207

 

[Kouriozan]

In-game was around 140 hours, got the Platinum, too lazy to boot up again
PS5 shows 135 hours

 

[MegaSackman]

Game: 193hs 06' 46''
System: 198hs

 

[Korigama]

In-game clock: 130:52:35
PS5 system clock: 362h

System clock times tend to be unreliable for me, as I often leave games idle. Remake also stopped the clock after three minutes of inactivity.

 

[JuicyPlayer]

The system clock is still counting even if you're on the title screen.

 

[FrostweaveBandage]

In-game: 136h
System: 147h

 

[liquiddragon]

In game: 140
System: 141

 

[xenosys83]

In-game is sitting at 130hours
System is at 170hrs

 

[Young Liar]

ps5 clock: 252 hours
game clock: 242 hours

 

[Lonestar]

PS5 clock 185 hours
In-Game clock: 157 hours

wild how you both are getting lower system times. I guess the feature might be busted for some? I wonder what could trigger issues.

In-game clock: 130:52:35
PS5 system clock: 362h

Yeah, I should've taken more opportunities to just turn the game off when I wouldn't be playing (before I checked, I would've thought maybe 100 hours or so less than what it actually was).

 

[mrmickfran]

I think it was 101 hours for the in-game clock and 103 for the system clock
