Dolby has announced<\/strong><\/a> Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Series X and Series S consoles will be the first to support its Dolby Vision HDR technology in games.<\/p>\n

The current-generation Xbox One offers Dolby Vision on apps and for streaming content over platforms like Netflix, but in-game support is limited to HDR10.<\/p>\n

Dolby Vision HDR10 is an improved standard that leverages dynamic metadata \u2013 in addition to the core image data \u2013 to enhance image brightness, contrast, colour, and depth.<\/p>\n

This allows for content to be displayed as accurately as possible, with greater detail and textures visible in dark and bright scenes in particular.<\/p>\n

According to the company, Dolby Vision HDR will allow the consoles to produce up to 40 times brighter highlights, 10 times deeper black levels, and up to 12-bit colour depth in games.<\/p>\n

The image below illustrates the difference between Dolby Vision imagery and Standard Dynamic Range (SDR).<\/p>\n

In addition to the visual enhancements of Dolby Vision HDR10, the consoles will support Dolby Atmos sound in games.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s simulated surround sound format creates the illusion of different audio sources within a three-dimensional space, allowing for a more immersive experience.<\/p>\n

Dolby said Atmos provides greater sound clarity and depth, and allows players to detect the distance and direction of unseen sounds, allowing them to react quickly when needed.<\/p>\n

Current titles which support the technology include Gears 5, Call of Duty: Warzone, F1 2020, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.<\/p>\n

Atmos will be available on any headphones used with the consoles, but if the player prefers to use a TV, soundbar, or home theatre system, it must be Atmos enabled.<\/p>\n

Dolby Atmos will be supported on the Xbox Series X at launch, while the first games with Dolby Vision are set for release in 2021.<\/p>\n
