Immersive audio can be a really big part of enhancing the gaming experience and PUBG MOBILE players are getting it through the recently added Dolby Atmos support. Audio in some cases, can feel like a more important part of the play experience than visuals. Opening up doors to unmatched levels of realism.
Tencent Games Head Of PUBG MOBILE Publishing Vincent Wang seems to agree. Stating that “even more than visuals, sound plays a key role in immersing players in PUBG MOBILE to keep them on their toes and in the middle of the action. Players will be able to hear the difference in their games and utilize this to their advantage.”
With Dolby Atmos in PUBG MOBILE, players should be able to hear key details. Such as footsteps, to know when players are trying to sneak up on you. Of course, you’ll need a headset or earbuds that also support Dolby Atmos. As well as a phone that supports the tech if you want to actually utilize it. This shouldn’t be too hard to do since more than a few phones and headsets support Dolby Atmos these days
Dolby Atmos will only be available in the PUBG MOBILE arena mode
For the time being, at least, the Dolby Atmos support will only be available in arena mode. Seeing as this is one of PUBG MOBILE’s key modes though, most players should get to experience it. The sound update should be live today and likely in the game for most players at this point.
More updates with the audio tech are also planned for the future. Which could mean support rolling out to other game modes. Though Tencent doesn’t mention anything about dates for the future improvements or what they’ll include specifically. You may need to update the game for this feature to show up. So it’s worth checking to see if there’s a game update available.
