February 10 Voice Chat Update

Hello everyone, this is the Ironsight Team.

The in-game voice chat function will be added with the February 10th Update. Use the brand new voice chat feature with your team and party members to gain the upper hand and come out victorious.

In a situation where you have to fight tooth and nail, clear and effective communication can be the determining factor in winning by enhancing the team's unity.

Voice chat will also serve as a laid back communication channel where you can enjoy the casual atmosphere with your friends and team mates and have some fun!

It will also allow you to pass on tips to newer members, teaching them some of the things you have learnt through your experiences.

As there have been many requests from the community for a voice chat feature, we expect that it will be utilized a lot for a variety of different activities and situations!

Please make sure to disconnect from the servers in advance in order to avoid any issues.

[KST] 14:00 ~ 15:00 February 10th [CET] 08:00 ~ 09:00 February 10th [PDT] 21:00 ~ 22:00 February 9th

Voice Chat Manual

Voice chat is divided into two channels, party chat and in-game team chat. The Party Voice Chat channel is created as soon as a party is created, and players that join the party will instantly join the Party Voice Chat channel. The Team Voice Chat channel is joined upon entering a game, and is restricted to push to talk only. FFA game modes such as Battle Royale and Gun Game use proximity chat, with directional audio and dynamic volume depending on the distance between players (with a maximum difference of around 15-20 meters)
• If a custom match is joined as a party, the party voice chat will persist even if party members are on different teams. Find the Voice Chat settings by going to Settings > Audio > Voice Chat
