World War Z: Aftermath Crossplay Voice Chat

[AlecTheGrinder]

I tried playing with my wife while I'm on PC and she's on xbox but we couldn't hear or talk to each other.

Do not forget we are paying more for less, that is why devs will not do anything to improve the game.

Check your push to talk settings.

There is no VoiceChat over cross-play. It was never implemented.

You can still use in game commands.
F1 Yes
F2 No
F3 Follow me
F4 Mark item / enemy

Not sure if Fx are default keys but you can bind then like that.

Actually, voice chat was implemented for cross-play, but it's disabled for whatever reason.

No cross-talk across platforms yet.

You guys can still play together at least. Plus you guys can voice chat over Discord as an alternative.

Everything that was on the Epic Game store is like this. They don't give a ♥♥♥♥, they won't ever give a ♥♥♥♥, and we shouldn't ever give a ♥♥♥♥ about them. Quickly get your refunds.

That ignorant propaganda... Steam API doesn't allow any cross-play.
If not EGS services or SwarmEngine own implementation you wouldn't be able to play with anyone apart from people on Steam.
So it would be no consoles, not MS store, etc.

No wonders Devs didn't implement cross-play voice chat, it probably would cost too much, and they would need to maintain 4 APIs (Steam, Xbox, PS4, EGS) and have dedicated servers for voice chat.

You probably can find alternatives for voice chat alone.

Try Discord.

Typically, in-game chat isn't going to be as polished as a dedicated program for voice chat. It is more convenient, however.

I've been playing WWZ for a couple of years now. Hardly anyone uses voice chat in WWZ. That's because the game isn't that complicated. Co-op follows a linear path, like an arcade shooter. Instead, they just use the visual/character commands. It'll show a checkbox for yes (they'll say stuff like "good job"). An X is for no (they say stuff like "sorry"). Targeting something with T, etc, says "look at this" or "look what I found", etc. Still very useful.

I could see it being useful for multi-player. Although, Co-op is the game's best strength, which I love, BTW. My fav game, in fact. So don't get too worried about voice chat. It's not really needed.

Except that about a dozen of my friends are looking for a game to play and chat over while we play, some on PC and the rest on PS5. Saber just lost ten of those purchases because a buddy and I tested it and that was a massive oversight.

They had a Twiter update talking about the new horde mode and crossplay voice chat.
