According to the statement, this experience will come to PlayStation early 2022 and it will not only focus its use on consoles, but also in mobile devices. The objective, as it could not be another, is improve user communication when playing. To reach this agreement, Sony made an investment in the platform of Jason Citron and Stan Vishnevskiy.
