Sony has written the details of the PS5’s voice chat recording feature, which allows you to send audio clips to moderators to report bad player behavior. We found out about the feature after PS4 users unexpectedly received messages warning them that their voices could be recorded.
In a new post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony executive Catherine Jensen gave some additional details on the upcoming PS5 feature. Essentially, PS5 players will be able to record up to 40 seconds of audio of a conversation with another player to use as evidence that they broke the code of conduct. And since PS5 players will be playing online games with PS4 players, Sony found it necessary to inform those PS4 players in advance about the new reporting tool.
PS5 will allow you to rewind for up to five minutes to capture the point in a conversation where things went south. Harassment reports can contain up to 20 seconds of conversation between players, with an additional 20 seconds to finish off the main offense.
Jensen also made it explicitly clear that the recording feature will only be used by other players, not Sony themselves. “Please note that this function not actively monitor or listen to your conversations, always, and are strictly reserved for reporting abuse or harassment online. “
Sony’s message also expresses regret for the confusion caused by the PS4 pop-up. “We did not clearly communicate this feature or explain why we were introducing it, and we apologize for that,” Jensen writes.
Here are some others things you (probably) didn’t know your PS5 could do.
