16-person Party Chat Coming in next Xbox One update

4.7

Microsoft has a flurry of new Xbox One features on the way in its next console update, headlined by an increase in Party Chat size from 12 up to 16.

This larger number will apply to Parties either on Xbox One or on Windows 10 via the Xbox app. You'll also be able to include your Party chat with your Twitch broadcasts

There's now a dedicated section for them in the console's menu sidebar. The Gamerscore leaderboard will return in the Achievements section, too.

Avatars will appear in your feed if you have chosen to replace your static gamerpic with your avatar. You'll also be able to compare your avatar to your friends'.

A new Featured section of the dashboard will highlight games, deals and event. The standard length of a Game DVR clips can now be changed (from 15 seconds up to 5 minutes). Finally, you'll now only see a player's reputation if they have been rated poorly.

Why would you wan't 16 people in a party? That's maxing it.

There would be so many people talking at once you'd get pissed off and have to kick people out of the party...

dah That is amazing, I remember quite frankly that you can only have a 6 man party for Xbox 360. They're adding a 16 man party. Wouldn't you think the party will have issues, like disconnecting all the time because in that party you're relying on the party leader connection. Correct me wrong/right..

I mean on Skype you can have large calls with no lag, but I think it just depends on if the host's internet is shit or decent. I don't think voice chat takes up too much bandwith

I don't know how well that is going to work out but I know a lot of people in MW2 would struggle to have a party because they needed more than just 8.
