Are PS4 parties recorded?

As for now, No. PS5 supports the voice chat option and hence is recorded there. However, if there is an inter-group play between a PS4 and a PS5 user, there are high chances of it being recorded. It disturbs the privacy of the PS4 user more because of an external party supporting the feature is involved.

In the upcoming updates, it can be suggested that PS4 users be given the option to choose any recordings over themselves when playing with an external party. Likewise, for the PS5 users, they should also be given the choice of allowing to record or not when involved with a PS4 user. The latter will involve a development change as for this one, recordings come by default.

Those who have chosen to record their party’s voice chat will then be able to send it to Sony for moderation.

How about connecting the PS4 mics on PS5?

In case you feel like using the PS4 mic on your PS5, you are more than welcome to. But you need to keep in mind a few specifications.

If you have a wireless headset, there is a possibility that it works the same for PS5 as it does for PS4 and all you’ll ever need to do is detangle the cable and attach it to the new console. Here the model of the headset may create an issue as the more recent ones, have a difference in their manufacturing compatibilities.

If your headset has a 3.5mm port, it is most likely to work as well for PS5 as it did for PS4. All you would need to do is connect it to the PS5 in the exact same way as you had unplugged it from the PS4. This is an easier option for you as compared to the former and what can make you any happier?

PlayStation Party Chat

ProsCons

PlayStation Party Chat is supported on a greater number of devices as compared to Discord but the latter tags along with a greater number of better features. All in all, Discord has an upper hand over the other by being a more reliable and popular platform as compared to the PlayStation Party Chat.

Discord and swearing – can you be banned?

Discord has the option of you sending over voice chats to your friends amidst gaming and texting. Although there is a lesser probability of PlayStation paying heed to your chats, there is more of someone reporting you for swearing. This can be done by anyone from your friends or else the servers that you are part of.

What happens is that PlayStation initially sends out a 24-hour ban your way. Thus the fact to be highlighted is that you do not receive a permanent ban. In case you were not involved directly, you may be even exempted without the short ban. As for the latest PlayStation update, chances are that you may get checked on time and again so yes, better safe than sorry!

Also, keeping in mind that the PS4 does not support the sharing of your voice during gaming, you’re safer there than on PS5.
