Hello, Im on PS4 and when i search my name in gamercards i cant see Fortnite in my games that i played. Please help.
 
You need to earn at least one trophy in the game in order for it to show here.
 
That's the original coop game, from before they added a battle royale mode and eventually almost completely focussed on that instead. It shouldn't be that expensive. (The battle royale mode is also why they stopped working on Unreal Tournament.)

Same problem here, I have more than 1000 hours of Fortnite on PS4 but it doesn't appear on Exophase.

Did you see what I mentioned in the earlier in this thread? In order for the site to see Fortnite playtime you need to have earned at least one trophy in it. The trophies are in a separate game mode.
 
Fortnite doesn't show up for me either, and I understand you need trophies, but why? Exophase tracks my hours on PSN for The Sims 4, a game WITH trophies, yet I don't have any. So why does Fortnite require trophies to be tracked, if it's fully capable of detecting games without having them?
 
Not an official answer, I'm just some guy, but:
PlayStation just does it better than Epic Games, shows different information to the world. If you log in on epicgames.com, click your name at the top right, you'll see there's only an option to show "My Achievements", not "My Games (without Achievements)". There's a filter at the top of the list, and you can set it to "Not played", or just leave it at "All", but it won't ever show games you haven't earned achievements for. If Epic doesn't show it, there's nothing for Exophase to see. Sadly Epic doesn't seem to want to improve this, as it's been like that since they introduced the feature.
 
I’d understand that answer if I was playing on PC, but I’m playing on PlayStation, thus my example. Not to mention the PlayStation app on mobile does show hours for the game, so Exophase not being able to track it just doesn’t make any sense.
 
O, sorry, my previous reply isn't correct/relevant. I didn't read through the older posts for more context, thought you were comparing other games on PSN to Fortnite, which I associate with PC / Epic Games. I think the PlayStation app shows you information about your PSN account that isn't public, so maybe that's part of what's going on.

Check your trophies in the app, the section where it lists all games and their respective trophy counts. It won't show a listing for Fortnite there, but The Sims 4 will show.

That is the fundamental difference. I don't know why a listing doesn't show for Fortnite there despite having the game, but it might have something to do with the trophies only being in a separate game mode and not part of the base offering - which is different from The Sims 4.

There may be some kind of workaround, as you mention the data technically is there. It hasn't been a huge priority to look into though as basically no other games on PSN behave like this - as soon as you launch them, they are added to the trophy list section. At any rate I'll try to investigate this more after I've finished working on other things.
