Allow Reset Play Stats for Games with Additional Apps

šŸ“‹ Summary

Currently, using ā€œReset Play Count & Timeā€ or ā€œReset Last Playedā€ only clears data for the main game entry, not its additional apps. There’s no way to reset this data for additional apps without editing XML files or splitting the games first.

šŸŽÆ Feature Overview

  • When resetting play count or last played, prompt the user to:

    • Reset only the main game

    • Reset all associated additional apps

    • Manually select which entries to reset

šŸ“¦ Benefits

  • Prevents confusion when stats appear to persist despite a reset.

  • Saves time and avoids tedious manual editing or game recombination.

  • Makes stat management more intuitive for users with complex game setups.

    Am I right in assuming this is now fixed and this issue can be closed? According to the change log:

    Version 13.23 - Released August 21, 2025

    • Fixed: Resetting play time and play count now also resets these values for all additional apps attached to a game

    "Reset Play Count & Time" and "Reset Last Played" don't work if game has additional apps

    If you reset play count, time, and last played on a game with no additional apps it works as expected, but if the game has additional apps the play count, time, and last played data will by cleared for the parent game but not for the additional apps. There is no way to reset that data on the additional app other than manually editing the relevant platform xml file in the data directory.

    I would expect resetting the parent would also reset all children. At minimum there should be some way to reset the additional apps without manually editing the xml.

      Hi there, thanks for the report here. This is indeed a limitation of the current ā€œreset playtime & countā€ option. I’ve fleshed this out into it’s own request for consideration and for others to weigh in on.
