Recently Played is automatic. Replay Control reads the same recent-play activity used by RePlayOS, and launches from the web app update that activity too.

It keeps the continue-playing path short, without requiring a trip back through systems or search results.

## Last Played

The home page highlights the most recently launched game as a larger card. It gives you a fast path back to the game detail page and keeps the current session visible when paired with [Now Playing](now-playing.md).

## Recently Played Row

The recently played row keeps the latest launched games in order. It works across systems, so a session that jumps between arcade, console, and disc games still appears as one timeline.

## How It Updates

Recents update when a game is launched from Replay Control or appears in RePlayOS recent activity. They are independent from [Favorites](favorites.md): a game can be recent without being a favorite, and a favorite can stay pinned even if you have not launched it lately.

Admin maintenance actions such as deleting a ROM or clearing recents can remove entries that no longer make sense for the active library.
