Like most PlayStation 4 users, it’s possible that your game library is a little messy. As you continue to buy, play, and forget games, your library becomes full of PS4 titles that you don’t currently play. This can make it quite difficult to navigate through your library and find the game you want.

Privacy is important. You should always have control over what information other PS4 users can see about you.

Keep in mind that when you hide a game from your activity feed, you can still view it from your profile. The only change is that other users who visit your profile will not see information about the selected game.
