Ah can say the same, though there’s no surprise that 3 of my top 5 are all racing games! 
3rd and 4th are respectively NFS: Heat and the recently released Unbound.
And I received a racing-themed avatar, which is pretty neat!

Arkham Knight is technically my top game this year, with 119 hours on it compared to 117 on Hitman 3 this year. However, I just finished up yet another playthrough of Arkham Knight and probably won’t touch it again for a few months, whereas I’ll definitely still play Hitman 3 more this year, especially now that I have some free time to get through the large backlog of Featured Contracts (I haven’t completed a batch since the Heat Stroke ones in June)
I’m surprised I did 76 hours in Hitman 2 this year since I was just cleaning up challenges I didn’t get done before getting Hitman 3. The 76 hours in Hitman 2016 is more understandable since this year I did all the challenges on Marrakesh-Hokkaido (including everything but the Patient Zero missions) and all challenges on Professional difficulty on Paris and Sapienza. Honestly I’m surprised it’s not higher than 76 hours. Also, I played 54 more hours of Hitman 3 on one of my alt accounts this year, where I did all the challenges on the main Hitman 3 levels and about a third of the Hitman 3 escalations.
I think Freelancer could make Hitman 3 my definitive top-played game of 2023, especially if they continue supporting the game with a Year 3 of stuff as well.

Welp, 47 reigns supreme once more. Much less in terms of hours compared to last year, but it’s still #1.
I’m very surprised I’ve got No Man’s Sky in my top 5. Though I guess I did return to that game earlier this year and start another fresh playthrough, kinda got deep into it, even just the introductory missions.
I’ve done a very good job of keeping myself from being sucked into Fortnite FOMO this year, as I only played 39 hours total of it compared to 195 from last year!! So that’s good.
Cool to see what your very first trophy was. Mine was from Little Big Planet on 11-11-2011!

On May 9th, The PS5-exclusive Playstation Plus Collection will no longer be accessible.
(This is a collection of 19 highly-rated first and third-party PS4 games for PS+ users, reportedly offered as a “launch bonus” to early PS5 adopters – but shortages made them extend the promo for a while)
If you claim them before May 9th, you can still download and play them to your heart’s content, as long as you are subscribed (or re-subscribed) to PS+

Battlefield 2042 (PS4/5), Minecraft Dungeons (PS4) and Code Vein (PS4) will be the free March games for Ps Plus.
I nearly bought 2042 for 20$ two days ago, but decided to wait to see if it would ever drop lower.
Free is great! (Especially if its tied to the online-required-subscription too, since it would be useless without Plus anyway)

The abstract human-lemmings game Humanity is going for a day-1 release in the May PSPlus monthly catalog.
It will also be the first PSVR2 compatible game released for free with the subscription.
I love this ad
I played the demo and it was good weird puzzley fun

Sony’s finally going to start selling the Spider-Man remaster on it’s own without having to go through Miles Morales. It’ll be $10 for the upgrade if you already own the PS4 version, $50 if you don’t.
And they’re putting out a prequel comic to Spider-Man 2 for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday, available at participating comic book stores and for download on Marvel’s website and app.

Ooh! That’s great, and its any of the previous PS4 versions, not just the GOTY version with all the DLC.
It’ll only be a digital PS5 release it seems so the PS4 still has it beat with that 
I’ll be very glad to pick it up at ~13$CAD for that instead of a 25$ish for the MM “upgrade”
