Group Chat in next Dash Update?

While talking to a distributor for MS today I was told a new update is in the works. He went on to describe how Microsoft Reps told him that before the "Official Summer Season" has ended a new update roll-out for Xbox Live would be implemented. This may not seem a big deal, however he mentions "Group Chat" was in the works. He stated that up to 4 players could communicate by Seasons end over Xbox Live.

Hopefully we can put those "Private Chat" days behind us.

Good news... but, I hope they can make it for at least 8 people.

...but can't say I agree, 8 is too many. Like chatting in the Halo 2 lobby - just too many voices to have a coherent conversation.

'sides, I don't even have 8 xbox live friends on which I am on speaking terms :) - but that's a personal problem.

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
