"With the introduction of hardware-accelerated ray tracing in the Xbox Series X, we are actually able to enable a whole new set of scenes, whether it is more realistic lighting, better reflections, we can even use it for things like spatial audio and have Ray-traced audio, "Ronald explained.

"I had to restart because I did a system update, and then I went back to the game, and then back to the game," he said. "So it can survive the restart."
However, Microsoft is not the only company developing audio improvements for its next-generation systems. Sony has confirmed that the upcoming PS5 will have 3D audio integration.
