A new software update for the PlayStation 4 has recently arrived with a feature that was not originally reflected in the update notes, and that is the possibility that user voice conversations are recorded and subsequently sent to Sony for “moderation purposes.”

Message that appeared after updating the console

It seems be that for now it is not a functionality that is active, but it is designed for PlayStation 5, so that, according to the language used in Sony’s post, it now has an update to reflect the appearance of This function , this would only be activated when we are in a voice chat room with a user who has a PlayStation 5.

If we read the warnings that we find in the console, Sony would only review the recordings in case of a report of violation of the Code of Conduct , so it is to be expected that at least the audio recording is permanently working, although we do not know how the shipments would be made of these recordings.

Last but not least, it is not a feature that we can ignore, As indicated in the console itself, entering a voice chat implies that we accept that our conversations can be recorded and sent to Sony.
