In a surprising turn of events, a Naughty Dog developer has posted on the official PlayStation forums confirming that Cross-Game Chat will be made available through the next firmware update. This should confirm earlier reports and rumors that cross-game chat would be making its way to the PlayStation 3 some time in October. Since confirming the update feature, the developer’s post has been deleted from the interwebs, however, we’ve included it below.

I think they wanted people to have fun and ejoy the show since all dead players can talk to each other no matter what team you are on. But I will suggest it anyway. Not to mention that the next PS3 firmware update is going to allow cross game chat. So if players use that instead of in game communication then they would also be able to communicate enemies positions.

So, what’s next PlayStation 3 owners? Now that we’ve been given pretty much every necessary feature to rival that of Xbox Live for the low monthly fee of free. Is there another feature Sony must tackle to help pull even or do you feel this one has already put the nail into the wood?
