I test the open beta from "Overwatch" atm, and the game itself delivers "Dolby Atmos for Headphones".

You can enable it in the audio options, and it will be processed by the game(and it works).

Yup. The same way Dolby Digital support could be built into the game, or 7.1 could be built into the game. If the sound engine supports it (I'm guessing it's not Wwise) then why not?

It's the first game with "Dolby Atmos for Headphones" 
 
Check out this presentation where they list basics about sound design and audio mixing for competitive gaming

I mean, he summed up the whole article. If you go into Overwatch settings, apparently there is an option to output Dolby ATMOS headphone through the main audio output. I didn't even think to look! I'll check that out tonight, excited!! G5 may get some use after all :wink:

Just read through the presentation. Indeed it is very interesting. A shame that it's a PC only feature, I'd love to hear it.
