Personalized Spatial Audio for gaming

Coming to AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max

Apple is taking Spatial Audio to a new level by letting your favorite game developers put you right into the action, using the same audio technology that creates an immersive sound for music and movies. This will also work on any AirPods that already support Spatial Audio.

Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking will enable an enhanced soundstage, plus voice quality improvements for in-game chat and streaming. While it’s up to the developers to make this happen, Apple is providing all the needed tools and already has a few hot titles on board, including Need for Speed: Mobile by Tencent Games and EA, which should arrive alongside iOS 18 this fall.
