Announced today viaXbox Wire, Microsoft revealed it is bringing DTS:X for Headphones spatial sound support to Xbox, alongside a range of other bug fixes and improvements. Microsoftpreviouslyspoke about bringing DTS spatial audio to Xbox all the way back in January 2019. Better late than never, eh?
If you’re in the Alpha Skip Ahead ring, you can grab the DTS Sound Unbound app by navigating to your Xbox Insider Hub and joining the DTS Sound Unbound trial from the Insider Content section. The trial lasts for 24 hours, and can be refreshed indefinitely for those testing the app. When it launches to the general public, presumably it will cost a bit of cash similarly to the Dolby Atmos license.
This 2008 build also includes a few localization fixes, and notes some of the issues Microsoft is currently working on repairing.
