The Tempest engine of the PlayStation 5 should provide a 3D sound with very high quality. This is supposed to increase immersion.
The PlayStation 5 is not just about improved graphics, the new Tempest 3D sound engine should also offer something for the ears. The Tempest engine can output hundreds of sound sources in very high quality. It says: “In addition, games on PS5 can offer a much stronger sense of immersion thanks to 3D audio. Of course, graphics are the main part of the gaming experience, but we believe that the sound also plays a crucial role. We really wanted everyone enable a fascinating sound experience – not only for those who have first-class loudspeaker systems. “
Sony adds: “That’s why we developed a tailor-made 3D audio engine and equipped it with enough power and efficiency for ideal audio rendering. With 3D audio on the PS5, the sounds will come from clearly recognizable directions and will sound like you’d be in the middle of the game. You can hear raindrops falling on different surfaces in your game environment and see exactly where an enemy is lurking behind you. “
