Coming PS4 Update Doubling Party Size & Adding Chat Transcription
Sony is readying a PS4 update which doubles the party size from eight to sixteen players, and which also adds a chat transcription feature.
The transcription feature (available only in the U.S. and in English) allows users to enter text into the PS4 second screen app which is then read aloud to party members, or convert party chat to text on the app.
PS4 users can sign up to beta test these features via the Preview Program, and accepted applicants can share their code with up to 20 others in order to test out the party features in full.
The update also includes improved party chat audio quality and network connectivity.
At this time there is no date for the update's final release.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
