We have been informed that the new Party Chat functionality on PlayStation 4 will support up to eight users in a similar way to PS Vita. Sony social media manager Sid Shuman was queried about the functionality in a Q&A round about Killzone Shadow Fall and this is what he said:
“Party Voice Chat will support up to 8 players on PS4, like PS Vita,” he responded.
In addition cross-talk with PS Vita users is also supported. The worst part of this is that PS4 will not support current-gen bluetooth headsets for chat, and will require a post-launch patch for USB-based headsets to be compatible. This means that until this occurs you can only use the “crappy” headset included in the PS4 package.
