Whilst only available to a limited number of users for now, interested parties should continue checking over the next couple of days and weeks.

Spatial audio features dynamic head tracking that brings the movie theater experience right to your ears. By applying directional audio filters and subtly adjusting the frequencies each ear receives, spatial audio can place sounds virtually anywhere in space, creating an immersive surround sound experience. Spatial audio tracks the motion of your head as well as your device, compares the motion data, and then remaps the sound field so that it stays anchored to your device even as your head moves.

Currently, spatial audio is already available on other streaming platforms and services like Apple TV Plus, Disney+ and HBO Max.
