There comes a time when your library of games on PlayStation 5 is so bloated that it’s hard to find the game you want to play. Even if you don’t have many games, there could just be some titles you don’t want to see for one reason or the other.

So, in this guide, we’re going to show you how to hide games in your PS5 library, as well as how to unhide them later on.

How to Hide Games on Your PlayStation 5

Before you proceed, make sure you’ve connected your PS5 to the internet, so you can access your entire PSN library. Once connected, follow the steps below to hide games:

1. Go to your Game Library–it is the last option in the Games section of the dashboard.

2. Press R1 on your controller to access the Your Collection screen.
3. Highlight the game you want to hide and then press the Options button on your controller.
4. In the menu that appears, select Hide or Hide All Items. The latter option applies to titles with additional download options, such as a PS4 and PS5 version or a digital soundtrack.

If you’re trying to get rid of an infinite backlog of games, hiding games can be a good way to focus on what you actually want to play. You can further organize your library by creating Gamelists on PlayStation 5.

How to Unhide Games on Your PlayStation 5

If you want to show the games again in your library, the process of unhiding them is quite simple–again, you should connect your PS5 to the internet for this. Follow the steps below.

1. Go to your Game Library from the PS5’s dashboard.
2. Press R1 on your controller to access the Your Collection screen.
3. Hit the Left button on your controller until you’re able to select the Sort and Filter option.
4. Press X to bring out the sorting menu and then press X again on the Hidden Items toggle to only show the games you’ve hidden.

5. Back in the games section, select the game you want to unhide and press the Options button on your controller.
6. In the menu, select Unhide.

7. Open the Sort and Filter menu again and toggle off Hidden Items.

The game should now be back in your PS5 library.

Keep Your Game Library Organized on PlayStation 5

There are many reasons why you wouldn’t want to see certain games in your PlayStation 5 library. Maybe you've fully completed a game (obtained the Platinum trophy) or your PS Plus has expired, and you don’t want titles you claimed and can’t access, bloating up the library.

Whatever the case, you now know how to hide (and unhide) PS5 games from your PS5 library.
