PlayStation 4

If you absolutely must update your friends on your non-existent social life while you’re beavering away in Watch Dogs, platform holder Sony has confirmed that Party Chat will be available for free on the PlayStation 4. The snippet was confirmed as part of a PlayStation Access video, which also revealed the system’s gigantic friends count.

We already know that you’ll need a PlayStation Plus subscription to take advantage of multiplayer on the next generation console, but the Japanese giant’s being smart about its implementation. Unlike on the Xbox 360, you won’t need to stump up to access entertainment applications such as Netflix, free-to-play games, or the aforementioned Party Chat.

Now, if only we had something that we desperately needed to talk to people about. We hear that that new Piri-Piri flavour Pot Noodle’s sort of tasty. Anyone want to chat about that?
