With Halo 5: Guardians coming in just a month, Microsoft is laying the groundwork. This includes an increase in party size to support the 24-player Warzone mode.
As of last night, Microsoft has increased party chat from eight players to twelve. You don’t need to be in the preview program or using the New Xbox One Experience. Everyone has the feature.
Microsoft needed to roll this out before the new dashboard, which is slated for a November launch. For more on Warzone, check out our coverage from earlier this week.

Our Take
With Halo 5 such an important part of Microsoft’s fall portfolio, ensuring that everyone on a Warzone team can chat is important. Players have been asking for this via Xbox Feedback, which should make a number of Xbox One owners happy.
