Microsoft continues to break ground when it comes to incorporating new technology into its platforms with the addition of Dolby Vision on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series, It's also the first console this tech has come to.
The new feature will be available for over 100 next-gen titles, with it boosting visual enhancements on thousands of classic HDR10 and Auto HDR games.
Players will see an improvement with "incredible brightness, color, contrast, and detail" for applicable TVs. It will also work in unison with current Xbox Series X|S features, such as "DirectX raytracing, automatic low-latency mode, variable refresh rate, and up to 120FPS".
Here's a quote regarding the addition:
"Starting today, gamers with compatible Dolby Vision-enabled TVs will be able to enjoy full-spectrum visuals with the rollout of Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox Series X|S. With Dolby Vision, epic worlds – such as lush rainforests or neon futuristic cities – are brought to life in more vivid color.
Dolby Vision deepens your immersion into the experience by enabling you to see an enemy hiding in the shadows or spot hidden clues through expanded contrast and better clarity in both bright and dark scenes."
The easiest way to check if your setup is compatible is by doing the following steps on your Xbox:
Go to Settings
Select General
Select TV & Display Options
Select 4K TV Details.
From there, you'll be able to see if you can tick the option to enable Dolby Vision on your console.
This isn't something I've personally experienced myself but i don't have a huge infinity for Dolby products, specifically, I'm not a fan of Dolby Atmos for gaming. I personally prefer Stereo for competitive games such as Apex Legends or Halo Infinite but i know that's more down to a preference rather than the software not being very good.
