PSA: Rocket League's New Cross-Platform Voice Chat Is Enabled By Default

"This is honestly a scary thing".

Psyonix's free-to-play title Rocket League has received a new update, and it's made "voice chat" available across all platforms.


While this kind of update is normally a welcome one within many online communities, in the case of Rocket League, not everyone is overjoyed by this new update. Some members of the community are worried toxicity could now be spread through voice chat. Fortunately, you can turn this option off...


This new audio option is enabled by default, so you'll have to make your way into the game's settings if you do want to disable it. One other catch is that voice chat communication (which includes cross-platform communication) will be limited to "Party Chat" and "Team Chat", and there are no voice comms with opposing teams.


Despite the limits in place, some players are still "scared" about the dialogue teammates may hurl at each other in-game. Here are just some of the responses to this update (via social media):

Best update, ever.
