Project Winter has made its way to home consoles with its release on Xbox One (and Xbox Series X|S through backwards compatibility). The game emphasizes combining both social commentary and survival game aspects, so both are equally important. If you are playing on Xbox, things are handled quite a bit different in regards to communicating with others, which can be confusing for first time players. Here is how to voice chat on the Xbox version of Project Winter. All voice chat in Project Winter is handled via a push-to-talk system, which is very rare in console games, but more common in PC games. If you just talk into your headset while playing, no one will hear you unless you are in an Xbox Live Party with others, but then you are not playing with the game’s proximity chat, which takes away from some of the game’s design.
