Battlefield 2042 In-game Voice Chat is Being Added This Week

Battlefield 2042 will add in-game voice chat tomorrow, Tuesday, April 19, EA announced.

In EA’s official patch notes for Battlefield 2042’s major update 4.0, the publisher confirmed a new feature that players have been waiting for since the game launched in November. There’s a slight downside, though: Battlefield 2042’s VoIP only works when you’re forming a party or squad, so you can’t automatically communicate with your entire team.

Prior to this patch, voice chat with your team was only possible through a third-party app such as Discord or through your console’s built-in Friends/Party system. Luckily, the 4.0 update fixes that. While the addition of in-game voice chat is certainly the main title of the new update, there are a few other things included.

However, it is not clear whether players will be interested to give the game another since its recent players count fell below 1000 on steam.
