Any word on xbox in-game support for keyboard chat?

  • I know it has been brought up in the past, but I'm just checking to see if anyone in the community has recently heard anything about keyboard-chat support for xbox users (i.e. has Rare acknowledged it)?

    The text wheel selections are well planned out, and they are sufficient for the most part. However, I think the keyboard chat function (that PC players have access to) will allow communication to be clearer and more direct. Especially since some crewmates seem to not respond to voice communication. I assume the reason being that they are in a general party-chat with other friends over xbox live, which is fine and dandy but they won't hear their crewmates barking at them in game (or maybe that's the point haha).

    Anyhow, if anyone knows anything about it, please share. I am curious about it.

  • @madame-c I'm pretty sure Joe Neate said that it's in the works, during a live stream.
    But don't quote me on it. It's late here and I'm often confused. lol :o)

    Ahoy matey!

    I know it's something we, Xbox players, would really like to have. Rare is aware of it and back at SDCC they said they were looking to bring text chat in their roadmap. They really want to extend accessibility for Xbox players :)

    At the moment, we don't really have an ETA but we can try to ask them during one of their Tavern stream :)

  • That's good to know. Thanks @Admiral-RRRSole and @Skulliah

  • @madame-c Hey, waddaya know. I got it right.

    You're welcome. :o)
