The new PlayStation 5 has many cool features, but perhaps none more than the introduction of group chat for up to 100 people.
Yes, you read that right, 100 people in a single chat! It’s seriously going to explode!
The current PS4 limits users to including a total of 16 players in any match, so this news will be welcome for some.
We’re not sure how 100 people talking at the same time would work in practice – immediately there are some flashbacks from the old days of Modern Warfare 2 / Black Ops, when everyone in a lobby had their microphone turned on, but it will surely benefit those who organize important online events.
You can also share media, such as video clips and music tracks, with friends at the same party.
Again, 100 people posting their own game in a chat may slightly overload you and distract you from the game, but it’s a feature that’s there to explore nonetheless.
Additionally, there is a new cross-generation group chat feature, which means that players can talk on the PS4 and PS5 consoles.
While Sony confirmed backward compatibility several months ago, it appears that only certain games will be eligible at first.
The catalog will grow over time, which means that if you have a PS4 game that you can’t play at first, that may change later. Sony has said that 99% of PS4 games will be backward compatible, although older console games will be incompatible.
The PS5 is slated for November 19 in the UK, and customers will be able to purchase the standard version of the console or the digital version.
The differences between the two are small, and the digital version lives up to its name in terms of not having a physical disk drive.
The standard console will retail for around £ 449, with the digital console at £ 359.
Each console arrives pre-downloaded Astro’s Playroom, which uses the new capabilities of the DualSense controller.
