Fully immersive audio can help you be even more present in the game, but it can also convey a tactical advantage too. The sound of approaching footsteps can warn you of danger, and the better the surround positioning the better you can work out which direction those footsteps are coming from.

The other big advantage of Atmos in games is that it can be used to create huge soundscapes that really add to the sense of scale – or the claustrophobia of smaller spaces – to make even a fairly insipid match sound and feel like an epic.
