Today, Dolby Laboratories launched two new Unreal Engine plug-ins, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, which will enable developers to enhance their games with advanced audio and HDR support.
“With the integration of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos into Unreal Engine, developers can provide gamers with stunning visuals and immersive sound experiences,”
said Mahesh Balakrishnan, the Vice President of Consumer Entertainment at Dolby Laboratories.
“These new plug-ins mark an important milestone in our journey to empower developers with innovative tools that deliver amazing games and immerse players like never before.”
Both plug-ins are free and available for download from the official store, supporting game development for Windows 10/11, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. Dolby Vision is focused on enhancing the visual effects of games, providing up to 40 times brighter highlights, ten times darker shadow details, and colours never seen on the screen. The Dolby Atmos plug-in, on the other hand, allows for a more immersive audio mix.
