FC Playtime lets you see how much time you’ve spent in FC 25 and how many matches you play a week (excluding Simulated Career Mode matches). Time Spent includes time spent in matches as well as the menus. Time is split across Online and Offline:
- Online Time
This refers to when you are connected to EA Servers and FC is active. When the session times out, the counter stops. - Offline Time
This refers to time spent with the game open and not connected to EA Servers. This is saved to a local file and never uploaded. It is reset back to zero each week.
You can only see the time spent in the FC 25 Companion and Web App within the apps themselves. It will appear as a different value to your time in-game on a console or PC.
The total time and average time displayed in-game on console and PC doesn’t include time spent on the FC 25 Companion App and Web App, but console and PC time is factored into the total and average weekly time displayed in the Companion and Web App.
