Experience 3D audio in games like Demon's Souls, Resident Evil Village, Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and more.
The launch of PlayStation 5 is less than two months away, and we couldn’t be more excited to deliver an all-new and even more immersive gaming experience to our fans. We’ve 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 PS5’s 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 PS5’s 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 isn’t the only way that fans can experience the increased presence and locality that we discussed in our last technical update.
On the PS5, you’ll 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 controller’s 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. 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.
In the meantime, I’m happy to say that you’ll be able to enjoy the PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech through your compatible headphones in many PS5 games. Some of the PS5 games with 3D Audio features include Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, Astro’s Playroom, Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, Destruction AllStars, Demon’s Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Horizon Forbidden West, Resident Evil Village, and many others.
In case you missed it, check out what some PS5 developers had to say about how Tempest 3D AudioTech is enabling them to push the boundaries of game innovation.
We hope you’re just as excited as we are to hear game worlds come to life with Tempest 3D AudioTech on PS5 when it launches this November.
The lack of any launch games (a PS4 DLC, a PS3 “remaster” and a generic grind slasher), and now the lack of the one feature that made the PS5 look interesting makes the PS5 seem not ready…
I guess waiting until next year or more might be the best idea…
I would really like to know:
What will the Tempest engine do for soundbar and discrete sound systems before the full virtualization of 3Daudio is implemented?
If DolbyVision and DolbyAtmos will be supported, al least for BluRay movie playback.
Which HDR format will games use?
If PS5 games have to be installed on the SSD so they can take full advantage of it, will physical copies transfer all data to the SSD and act only as a license key using virtually the same amount of SSD storage space?
Will games be able to output at 4K RGB 10Bit natively?

There is NO need to buy this headset !!!!Psvr have the same 3d audio chip thing (which is amazing) and I got great audio with a 5 euro simple headphones…..so! :-p
What happens to 7.1 setups with upfiring front presence speakers on Day 1? Cerny said no Atmos, not enough objects. So on Day 1, is there no support for 7.1 channels, or is it the default support (meaning you pick the channels you have in the PS5, it allocates object based sound to the speakers you have)? Asking for a friebd.
Right and they support atmos/dts for blu-ray…like every other sony blu ray….and streaming services..or do I need to buy a current gen sony bluray to put it next to my “next-gen” bluray, so that I can use my 5.1.4. will they eventually have support for this? I have so many damn questions. Do they support Dolby vision on blu-ray/streaming and later to games. I know it’s not announced but dolby vision is the future. Will they try to sell us tempest AVRs and soundbars in a few years? All when we could just buy an Xbox? Lol. I wish xbox had the dualsense…I thought I might get an Xbox for some games. Looks like until ps5 figures itself out ..the ps5 will be the one I only play sometimes. They are so arrogant. We all just bought TVs with all these features it apparently might not even be able to use because it struggles with ray tracing at 30fps. The Xbox has zero games and a basic controller but everything else we want. I’m sony through and through, all I want is a next gen experience, not a cherry-picked apple vs android b/s especially when their new “apple”-type propietery audio solution doesn’t do anything for anyone who hates headphones. WTF!! WE WANT MASSIVE SOUND. SOME PEOPLE HAVE $200,000 HOME THEATRES (I heard)
