While we already knew Halo Infinite would be supporting virtual surround sound, with Dolby Atmos being one of the supported technologies, we now appear to have confirmation that Dolby Vision will also be included.
As spotted by the team over at Wccftech, the official Halo Infinite game page on Dolby's website recently had the game slated to include Dolby Vision support. Unfortunately, the page has since been removed, which could indicate it was pushed too early. Another theory is the information is wrong, which would come after an Xbox Wire page reported that Dolby Vision and Atmos would be exclusive to Xbox for two years - until it was later confirmed to be inaccurate.
Dolby Vision, for those that don't know, essentially takes the image and creates a more refined HDR piture. You'll find the colours to be more vibrant and the blacks to much darker. It's one of the best ways to experience games currently, and has recently begun rolling out for Xbox Insider members.
If you're not part of the programme and want to see what the fuss is all about surrounding Dolby Vision, you can check out Apple TV+, which just recently had the support added. We're hoping we'll have confirmation about Dolby Vision support very soon, as it will be great for more games to begin implementing it.

Dolby Vision for Games looks really good.
I tested it out on both games that natively support HDR as well as games that use Auto HDR and the picture quality was excellent. But they were all very small tests.
It was a little tough comparing it to standard HDR, since both look excellent. I think where Dolby Vision really helps is that the image is consistently beautiful (due to it’s dynamic nature) where as standard HDR can have moments where things are too crushed since it’s a “one size fits all” scenario.
Thing with me is that.. I wasn’t blown away by what we’ve seen so far.. at all.. I know what we saw has been updated since and even then it was by far something still in progress at the time.. but still.. it looked like.. like a remaster.. that should’ve been released LAST gen and not on the Series X.. I refuse to believe what we saw couldn’t have been done on the Xbox One.. whatever we see next HAS to be big enough to convince the WORLD that the next big thing.. has arrived.. besides the last few entries in the series.. Halo.. has always been an event.. a spectacle release.. that transcends ALL of entertainment.. seeing how the numbers are now all for Marvel and the Avengers.. Halo Infinite.. Has to be BIGGER than Avengers : Endgame.
The fourth quarter of this year is gonna be nuts! So many games coming out! Not to mention the unannounced games.
This maybe one reason my next tv may not be an upgrade to my Samsung Q90R.
Samsung new 2021 neo QLED that costs a lot still do not support Dolby Atmos or Dolby Vision.
I like the QN95A, has had great reviews and is very good and bright in hdr over OLED but not supporting Dolby is just plan stupid especially as there main rival LG do.
Absolutely zero interest in either. So far every game looks noticeably worse when using Dolby Vision. Dolby Atmos also means nothing because the only version I have use for is Atmos for Headphones, and again, accuracy and directional cues leaves much to be desired.
@Dezzy70 You will probably never see Dolby Vision on a Samsung TV since it's one of the founders of HDR10+.
@GamingFan4Lyf
You are probably absolutely correct.
It’s a shame considering they are the worlds largest tv brand. Never mind LG C1 it will probably be then this fall. Their loss of a sale.
Dolby Vision is useless for me at the moment.
I've got a Sony X900F and there's no 'Game Mode' for Dolby Vision, which means I get 86.9ms input lag, making competitive games unplayable.
It looked great, but I had to turn it off.
Hopefully MS work with a variety of TV brands to get 'Dolby Vision Game Mode' enabled through a firmware update.
Think it's only the LG models that support this at the moment.
Not that big a deal, Dolby Vision and Atmos are still very niche, and only on a very small subset of the latest devices.
Show me something that can make the most of standard HDR or Headphones/2.1 or 5.1 first before trumpeting out the latest buzzwords. Artistic direction and skill always trumps the latest fad.
"...essentially takes the image and creates a more refined HDR piture." 😒
