In a post on thePlayStation Blog, PlayStation details what headsets and PS5 games will support 3D audio.
In the post, PlayStation’s Isabelle Tomatis confirms that most headphones are compatible with the PS5. Like the PS4, users can either plug their headphones in the console through USB or through the DualSense controller’s headphone port.
“Headphone audio is the current gold standard for 3D Audio on PS5, as Mark Cerny mentioned in his ‘Road to PS5’ talk in March,” said Tomatis. “We’re also in the process of working on virtual surround sound through speakers that are built into TVs. Although TV speaker virtual surround sound won’t be available on launch day for PS5, it’s still a feature we are extremely excited about, and our engineers are hard at work on bringing it to PS5 in the future.”
3D audio is one of the PlayStation 5’s new features that further immerses players in games. Launch games likeSpider-Man: Miles Morales,Astro’s Playroom,Demon’s Souls, andSackboy: A Big Adventurewill support the feature. Additionally, future games such asResident Evil Village,Horizon Forbidden West, andGran Turismo 7will support it.

With a month to go before launch, Japanese outlets have gotten hands-on time with the PS5. One notable detail from these previews is the console ismuch quieterthan the PS4’s fan.
