![Xbox Dolby Atmos Games: New 'Master List' Reveals Over 100 Supported Titles](https://images.purexbox.com/253ff8df42b8e/xbox-dolby-atmos-games-new-master-list-reveals-over-100-supported-titles.900x.jpg)
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 Often, lists posted by gaming media or forums were outdated, missing context, or even outright incorrect.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.

Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and Quick Resume are the top features of this generation.
I unfortunately still have the delay mentioned toward the end so I don’t use Dolby vision. Shame as it sounds REALLY good when I tried it. Much more full and elevated sounds. I’m connected through E-Arc and don’t have an actual sound system/amplifier, so that could be my problem but it’s an expensive solution to try just to see if it works. I also tried feeding the image to the sound system then to the tv, but that means I can’t get 4K/60/HDR, which is more important to me.
Regardless, it’s cool for those with the correct setup. Really awesome list and it’s cool to see a good chunk of titles making use of the feature.
@Banjo-
Quick resume it definitely tops, that feature is great.
Don’t understand why Sony don’t implement it.
I looked up how it works and it’s just a simple hard drive dump of information ready for when you start the game again.
There are some interesting quirks listed on here e.g. Borderlands 3
Weird choice.
@OldGamer999 Quick Resume is literally a game changer. Skipping logos, warnings and save file screens is priceless. You can completely turn off the console and it doesn't matter. However, I think I discovered why sometimes it doesn't work. Every time it failed, it was connected to WiFi (far away from the router), so I avoid WiFi and use Ethernet if possible. I also save before turning off the console, just in case.
@Banjo-
Never had the Wi-Fi issue with it at all.
Always works perfectly for me apart from the odd multiplayer online.
But I’m a single player campaign gamer so it’s great for me having about three games on the go at once.
Oh hey, HiFi Rush is on the list. Nice to see Dolby cares about a great game more than Microsoft.
@OldGamer999 I guess it happened because the times I used WiFi, the console was far away from the router, so it got disconnected and when I launched the game, the console said, "There is a change. The game will be closed." It must be something related to the cloud saves synchronisation, I am sure.
@Banjo- True. But I always found DTS my absolute preference for movies and gaming. Especially DTS:X.
Superior experience.
@OldGamer999 I’ve also had some problems with Quick Resume. Especially games being buggier, or crashing more (Starfield especially) and achievements not unlocking.
It’s absolutely brilliant when it works but needs work as when it fails it can be really frustrating. E.g. I’d have to play the whole game again to get some missable achievements that should have unlocked.
In other news I just saw leaks that suggest Xbox is going to allow cloud gaming for basically ALL games in our digital libraries later this year, not just select game pass titles. If true that’s a pretty huge upgrade to the service. They did mention this a while ago but it’s radio silent since.
@themightyant
I never looked into the achievements thing not working correctly on quick resume so I can’t say on that.
As for issues I don’t seem to get them, even Starfield I do not get any. I do play single player campaign games only.
@OldGamer999 I don't have issues getting achievements either and I always use Quick Resume, but for those complaining, the achievements are unlocked a bit later, so it's not like it's the end of the world.
@Banjo-
I’m not sure to be honest.
It works great for me and is a feature I really like.
If we get a next generation normal home console from Xbox, they best keep this feature.
I for one will be very disappointed if they drop it.
