Games aren’t just visual, though. From the beginning, they’ve used music and audio effects to create a deeper, more captivating experience. Xbox Series X|S uses Dolby Atmos to take your audio experience to the next level of realism. Dolby Atmos is immersive audio first created for movie theaters that connects you more deeply with the experiences you love. Dolby Atmos is a pioneering spatial audio technology. What does "spatial audio technology" mean? Simply put, it means that sound is no longer limited to coming out of a specific speaker. A helicopter can hover overhead. A race car can roar past you and then weave in front of you. A zombie can drop down from the ceiling. And you hear every little detail, putting you deep in your game.

This is important because good sound elevates the gaming experience. You know the heart-pumping tension of hearing an enemy charging at you from behind as you try to dodge and turn. You’ve heard your challengers’ engines rev as they try to pass you. If you’re not gaming with all your senses, you’re not experiencing the whole game. Dolby Atmos places you right in the center of the action.

Dolby Atmos is entertainment you can feel. For game creators, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Dolby Atmos enhances the quality of dialogue, background noise, and soundtracks, giving you a richer audio experience and a more enjoyable game. And gaming in Dolby Atmos on Xbox Series X|S can create a fully immersive experience playing through your TV, soundbar, or home theater setup. But if you don’t want to rattle the windows — or wake the kids — you can game in Dolby Atmos on your headphones.

And just as you can kick back with your favorite streaming content in Dolby Vision through your Xbox Series X|S, Dolby Atmos also provides immersive entertainment for movies and shows. It’s available on many streaming services, including Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Netflix, as well as Max and Paramount+.
