The feature has been much requested by players after Psyonix removed it from the game six months ago.
Psyonix announced it’ll return voice chat to Rocket League with an update scheduled for release on May 9.
Voice chat has been removed from Rocket League since the 2.04 update that released on September 14, 2021.
Psyonix explained how each chat will work and how you’ll be able to use them.
Party Chat- The perfect way to talk with friends!
Players with Voice Chat enabled will enter the Party Voice Channel when they create or join a Party.
Players will be able to communicate both in and out of matches as the connection persists between games.
Team Chat- For those who want to talk with their team!
Players with Voice Chat enabled will enter the Team Voice Channel when they join a team in a match.
This connection will end automatically as the game finishes, then begin anew when you join a new match.
Players who prefer to use Push-to-Talk can enable that in the controls menu.
These players will need to bind the PTT button to something that suits them from the Controls tab.
This can be done by selecting their names in the Voice Chat tab and choosing Mute.
Some players were even having “performance issues” while using voice chat in-game.
