What is the new limit for PS4 voice chat groups?

Question

Accepted Answer

The new limit for PlayStation 4 voice chat groups has been increased to 16 participants.

This update to the PlayStation 4 system software, version 7.00, effectively doubles the previous capacity for voice chat groups. Previously, the limit stood at 8 participants. This change allows for larger groups to communicate simultaneously within the console's chat features.
Increased Group Size

The system software update version 7.00 introduces a higher limit for users participating in voice chat groups. The maximum number of participants has been expanded from 8 to 16.
Comparison to Competitors

This adjustment brings the PlayStation 4's voice chat group size in line with or exceeding that of some competitors. For context, Microsoft had previously increased the size of Xbox Live parties, first from 8 to 12 in 2015, and then further to 16 in 2016.
Broader System Software Enhancements

Alongside the increase in voice chat group capacity, system software version 7.00 also introduced other functionalities. Notably, it enabled Android devices running version 5.0 and higher to be used as displays and controllers for the PlayStation 4 through an updated Remote Play App.
