Dolby Atmos is the last word in home theater performance, and it’s now on consoles thanks to Xbox. It brings a more immersive sound to your gaming sessions, so you feel like you’re part of the action.

Think being able to pick out where someone is shooting you from, or which side of your car the other racers are trying to pass from. It’s a long way from the early positional audio systems that PC games used to use and literally surround you in sound. It’s almost a cheat code, as Dolby tested Atmos vs stereo sound for gamers and found a 102ms reaction speed boost for those using Atmos. Whew.
