Destruction AllStars has all the bubbles and whistles you would expect a modern multiplayer game to have: customizable player profiles, multiple currencies, and lightning-fast matchmaking. However, it commits one cardinal sin: there is no universal option to mute voice chat. With the DualSense controller integrated with a microphone in it, you can imagine the chaos.
First, if you are not aware of it, there is one way to mute voice opponents from voice-to-match: press the PlayStation button when in a lobby, scroll to the activity map for voice chat, and press the square button. This is not a particularly elegant solution – you have to repeat it for every game you play – but you will save yourself a headache if you make the effort.
We’m sure this is something Lucid Games is going to look at, and hopefully it can be an option for those who want to turn off the feature. Of course, it would be great if we all live in a world where strangers can communicate calmly with each other – but well, we all know that is not the case, right?
