The launch of PlayStation 5 is less than two months away, and we couldnt be more excited to deliver an all-new and even more immersive gaming experience to our fans. Weve talked in the past about how the DualSense wireless controller will make games feel more real, but today we wanted to focus on how the PS5s Tempest 3D AudioTech will change the way games sound and how you can hear it for yourself.
The upcoming Pulse 3D wireless headset has been engineered to take full advantage of PS5s 3D Audio capabilities (check out a new image above). With a refined design, dual noise-cancelling microphones, and an array of easy-access controls, the Pulse 3D wireless headset offers a seamless experience for both the PS5 and PS4. We think it offers a fantastic audio experience for the PS5, but it isnt the only way that fans can experience the increased presence and locality that we discussed in our last technical update.
On the PS5, youll be able to experience 3D Audio with the headphones that many of you already own, either through USB connection to the console, or by plugging your headphones into the DualSense wireless controllers 3.5mm headset jack.
Headphone audio is the current gold standard for 3D Audio on PS5, as Mark Cerny mentioned in his Road to PS5 talk in March. Were also in the process of working on virtual surround sound through speakers that are built into TVs. Although TV speaker virtual surround sound wont be available on launch day for PS5, its still a feature we are extremely excited about, and our engineers are hard at work on bringing it to PS5 in the future.
In the meantime, Im happy to say that youll be able to enjoy the PS5s Tempest 3D AudioTech through your compatible headphones in many PS5 games. Some of the PS5 games with 3D Audio features include Marvels Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvels Spider-Man Remastered, Astros Playroom, Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, Destruction AllStars, Demons Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Horizon Forbidden West, Resident Evil Village, and many others.
