Xbox's Director Of Programming Wants 64-Player Parties For Battlefield, MMO Raids

GI:
As a part of this month's Xbox One system update, players are getting an upgrade to the party system. Currently, players are only able to host parties of 12 people, but with the next update, that number will jump to 16. According to Xbox's Head of Programming, Mike Ybarra, the team isn't satisfied just yet.

According to Ybarra, we aren't even close to how high he'd like party numbers to reach. "It was 8 six months ago, then we went to 12, now we’re at 16," he says. "I’d love to get that to 64 because that’ll get Battlefield and games like that which do 64 vs. 64…have at it! Now, I don’t want to be in a party of 64, but that’s a different problem! [Laughs]"

TBH, all online portions of games should start using the cloud on XB1 to enhance the quality of the gameplay experience!

While thats great... keep in mind that COD has been 120 FPS on PS5 for quite some time... and even supports 120 FPS on Series S. So it would be nice if they could push for 120 FPS on base consoles in the new Battlefield as well.

After I burnt 100 quids on the gold edition of 2042 with a blind pre-order and for as much as they are creating hype on secondary features like the 120 fps thing .... my humble suggestion is to wait for the game to actually release, have it reviewed by REAL gamers and NOT paid Youtubers and if it hits 86 or above on users' review on MetaCritics it will be a buy for me. Any lack of maps, variety, gameplay or key features that they have implemented in other BF game will be a NO GO on my end. More so as this is EA a company I loved in the early era of video gaming but that now has become the king of microtransactions and deceptive marketing.

120fps?

Excuse my French, Bl**dy h*ll

Why not? Do tell.

Base PS5 can do 120 fps with HDMI 2.1.
