Destruction AllStars has all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a modern multiplayer game: customizable player profiles, multiple currencies and lightning-fast matchmaking. However, it commits one major sin: there is no universal option to mute voice chat. With the shipment of the DualSense controller with a built-in microphone, you can imagine the chaos.
First, if you don’t know, there is a way to mute your vocal opponents match-by-match: press the PlayStation button when in a lobby, scroll to the Voice Chat Activity Card and press the Square button. It’s not a particularly elegant solution – you have to repeat this for every match you play – but it will save you a headache as you go through the hassle.
We’re sure this is something Lucid Games will be looking into, and hopefully it can patch an option for those looking to disable the feature. Of course, it would be wonderful if we all lived in a world where strangers could get together and communicate calmly with each other – but hey, we all know that’s not the case, right?
