Mike Ybarra wants 64-player parties on Xbox

16 party members just isn't enough for some people.

When the next system update hits Xbox One this month, the number of possible party members is getting bumped up from 12 to 16. Though 16 might sound like a lot of people to have in one party chat, Xbox' Director of Programming, Mike Ybarra, has even loftier ambitions.

In fact, the man from Microsoft wants 64-player parties - not because he wants to be in a party like that, but just because it is possible. In an interview with GameInformer he says the following:

"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!"

This could sound like a bit of a waste of effort since there aren't that many games which support that many players, but Ybarra is thinking of the future of Microsoft's cross-play functionality with Xbox One and PC. Anyway, would you join a party with 63 other players?
