 New 'Master List' Reveals Over 100 Supported Titles

We've mentioned a few times how some of Microsoft's tags on the Xbox Store don't always align with reality - as a result, it's hard to create proper lists for things like mouse and keyboard games and Xbox Play Anywhere titles.

This is also the case for Xbox games that support Dolby Atmos, but fortunately, a group of enthusiasts have spent the past few years building a list of their own, and it includes 100+ Xbox games that all feature Dolby Atmos integration.

In a post on Reddit, they explained that 2000+ Xbox games have been tested so far across Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The list will be updated on a bi-weekly basis, so you'll always be able to stay up to date with the latest releases.

"This multi-year effort by Audio Engineers, Game Developers, and Dolby Atmos/Home Theatre Gaming enthusiasts compiles all Dolby Atmos compliant game titles into one comprehensive master list."

We started this project about two years ago when 3D Audio & Dolby Atmos became major selling points for the Series X|S consoles. We found no comprehensive, accurate lists of compatible Atmos titles on Xbox. Often, lists posted by gaming media or forums were outdated, missing context, or even outright incorrect. Xbox's own store even had inaccuracies regarding Atmos support. So, we took up the mantle and have tested over 2000+ game titles across Xbox One & Series consoles for compatibility."

Now, we don't think it's fair to share the full selection in this article specifically, so you're not going to see a full table here. The entire list is available as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet though, which we'll link below. Some of the most recent games include Metaphor: ReFantazio, Star Wars Outlaws, NHL 25, Off The Grid and Throne And Liberty.

Helpfully, the creators have also provided a ton of information about how Dolby Atmos works on Xbox and even specific instructions for how to get it working with certain titles, so this really is an excellent resource if you're interested.

They even go into detail about the latency problem that Dolby Atmos suffers with on Xbox and PC right now, providing a comprehensive explanation about why it's a thing, and offering a few tips for how to reduce it. Xbox suggested this was being looked into last year, so hopefully it'll be a thing of the past at some point in the future.
