Gaming on Xbox Series X|S in Dolby

How Dolby makes gaming look better

Since those first videogames, players have wanted to feel more a part of the game. Whether it’s racing along the straight at 200 mph, exploring dungeons and ruins in full armour, or surviving alien worlds as a space marine, the best games engage the senses and the imagination. The Xbox Series X|S is a sophisticated piece of hardware enabled with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to take players to new heights of imagination and immersion.

 

Dolby Vision provides mind-popping colour and lets you catch every detail in your game. You’ll stare in wonder at the scenes that Dolby Vision can immerse you in. The picture-perfect contrast of Dolby Vision means you can better see what’s lurking in the shadows or marvel at fantastic landscapes, cities, and alien planets. The Xbox Series X|S also supports gaming in Dolby Vision at 120 Hz, for a smooth game with minimal lag.

 

The Xbox Series X|S consoles are the first to enable gaming in both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. More and more titles are available in Dolby Vision, including award-winning hits like Halo Infinite, Forza Motorsport, Baldur’s Gate 3, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Mortal Kombat 1. Whether you’re battling aliens, taking the checked flag, delving into dungeons, swinging a lightsabre, or testing your fighting skills, you’ll get an immersive experience that transports you into your game. And the number of games in Dolby is growing, meaning you’ve always got a new adventure waiting to draw you into new worlds with Dolby Vision.

 

And when you need a break from gaming, your Xbox can be used to watch series and films from your favourite streaming services, just double-check that the app you’re using supports Dolby Vision.

How Dolby Atmos makes gaming sound better

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 cinemas 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 centre 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 cinema setup. But if you don’t want to rattle the windows – or wake the kids – you can game in Dolby Atmos using your headphones as well.

 

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