What is PlayStation Party Chat?

PlayStation Party Chat is a voice and text chat service that allows PlayStation players to communicate with each other. The party chat feature is available on the PS4 and PS5 as well. The service was launched for the PlayStation Vita and has since been made available on other devices.

It’s the most efficient means of communication on PlayStation because it allows players to express themselves while playing multiplayer games without using the in-game chat services or any other third-party chat service.

PlayStation Party Chat is a feature that isn’t available as a standalone application. It is mandatory to have either a PS4 or PS5 console to utilize it. However, PlayStation Party Chat may also be used on other devices using PS Remote Play.

To use the PS4’s Party chat function remotely, you must first link your PC to your PS4 system using the PS Remote Play app. Once the PC and PS4 are linked, the PS4 console can be left in sleep mode, and the game along with the PlayStation Party Chat can be continued on the PC.

  • It will not affect the quality of the stream or put you at any disadvantage over your opponents during multiplayer games due to lag.
