JuniorChubb 3,359 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 PSN party limit should rise to 16 soon... https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/04/playstation-preview-update-brings-16-player-parties-and-chat-tra/ Thanks to @CatManDoza for the link. Is it really worth it at this stage in the consoles life? they could have done this years ago. Will it make any major difference to the way you play or organise your gaming? 1 Quote Can you smell what the Stone is cooking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALL_es 163 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 They should have added it before but it's ok if they do it now, who knows if it will be useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Useful for GT Sport definitely. We’ve had a nightmare trying to coordinate races over multiple party chats. Will be easier when we’re all in one lobby. We usually have a mix of talkers and silent types so hopefully there won’t be too many people talking at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Smurf, @Aslad was asking the other day. August will fly round, looking forward to clear chat and PSN events for 16 players. 1 Quote Can you smell what the Stone is cooking?

Hurst 484 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 It can turn into a right sh*t show. And I'm all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnaker1981 974 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 So far I am enjoying this new feature, better sound quality on chatting is always a good thing! Well done Sony, now how much is this going to cost us? 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) So I tried to open a private party by myself as I like to do whenever I’m streaming and racing with ransoms. But after the latest update, I didn’t see the option to do that and seemed like I have to create a group...will try later to see if I can create a group with just me or this new update gonna force me to have to listen to ransoms while streaming.

Sinister 2,578 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The notes in the update mentioned something about "Private" parties no longer being an option. You have to create a group, not sure if you can be the only one or not. If not just make one with me so you can be in peace. I don't join parties without an invite and don't even have a mic to use on the PS4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw180 6,833 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 It is still possible to make what is effectively a private party. You only have to invite another player, they don't have to accept the invitation. Two ways I have found (because I always do it when racing with randoms, no desire to listen the music one of them will inevitably have on). Invite a friend you know is offline to the party. downside for them is, I assume, they will keep getting the invite next time they log in Find a chat group that you are the only one left in, because everyone else has left, and make the party from that not sure if the person who left will get an notification, if so could be annoying for them, only one way to find out ... For either option though you could make another PSN account of your own, just to use for this. That's what I've done. So I just invite my own other account to the party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Thanks for doing the research fellas. Its a necessary option for me as I can stream with only my voice when im playing alone. Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
