The fast-paced, demolition derby gameDestruction AllStarsreleased earlier this week, but the game’s handling of voice chat instantly rubbed the player base the wrong way. Fortunately, Lucid Games has rolled out a new update that should prompt a huge sigh of relief from players who were experiencing harassment or were annoyed with the default voice chat settings inDestruction AllStars.
After receiving plenty of feedback this week,Lucid Games assured players it was working on a fix to the voice chatissues. In a tweet, Lucid Games noted that a hotfix is now available which will make it so that multiplayer voice chat is turned off by default for all players. The developer also reassured fans that it is actively working on enhancements to the voice communication system, which, at the game’s launch, had no way to easily turn off in online multiplayer modes.

For the unaware,Destruction AllStarsoriginally had voice chat on by default, using the DualSense controller’s microphone, for all players when they enter an online match. This led to plenty of complaints from the player base that did not appreciate being in a voice chat by default and anyone familiar with online gaming can only imagine the type of conversations players were subjected to hearing. Before the latest hotfix turned off online voice chat by default, players would have tomanually turn off voice chat inDestruction AllStarsin a PS5 menu.
Luckily for players having a rough time with online voice chat, Lucid Games was able to get this highly requested fix out to players quickly. While this update may not have been a scheduled stop on theDestruction AllStarsroadmap, it is a welcome one. Although the metaphorical roadmap forDestruction AllStars’future contentisn’t available to players just yet, Sony xDev developer John McLaughlin teased in a recent interview thatDestruction AllStarshas “loads of cool stuff coming.”
