![PS4 won’t support voice chat via existing headsets](https://www.thetechgame.com/images/news/article/1c3414f88b.jpg)
The news comes via GameInformer, which received its information directly from Sony. According to the platform holder, existing headsets just won’t work for voice chat on the PS4 – not even the Sony Pulse or official PS3 accessories.
A system update issued sometime after the PS4′s launch will make it compatible with current USB headsets, but existing Bluetooth headsets are not supported at all.
Presumably, new, PS4-friendly first- and third-party headsets will be released at or close to the console’s launch – but that’s no comfort for those who’ve recently splashed out on a new headset that won’t work with their new hardware.
It’s worth noting that the PS4 comes bundled with a mono headset, so you won’t be left with no option for voice chat at all.
The PS4 launches in November.
