Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released soon on October 25 for PS5 and PS4, and the latest action-packed installment will support an improved headset mode. This mode uses Immerse Spatial Audio technology to “increase the directional accuracy of sounds” in the game, which can be further adjusted to the shape of the head. This third-party audio tool and its alleged potential advantage can be yours for just $20 for five years, and there’s even a free trial available.
This discovery sparked an initial knee-jerk reaction on the internet, though it’s probably worth considering just how effective this novel technology will ultimately be. IGN we delved into the extensive Activision blog post on this topic, and the low version is as follows: Embody is an audio company that previously worked on Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy XIV, and its technology has been integrated to enhance immersion in games.
Black Ops 6 players can upgrade this enhanced headphone mode by paying for a premium, personalized head-related transfer feature profile “built specifically for the Call of Duty soundscape.” Activision didn’t mention that this service comes with a price, and with its launch, players are learning about it and expressing their concerns.
