All PlayStation 5 Games Supporting 3D Audio Feature an Automatic Dolby Atmos Mix
When the next PlayStation 5 firmware update will be made available to the public, it will be possible to enjoy multiple already released games in Dolby Atmos, as recently confirmed by PlayStation Senior Sound Design Superior.
Answering a question on Twitter, Loïc Couthier confirmed that all already released games that support 3D Audio feature an automatic Dolby Atmos mix that will become available once the new firmware update goes live to the public. If a game does not support 3D audio, it will require a patch with a proper Dolby Atmos mix.
It’s both. There is an automatic Atmos mix for all existing games that support 3D Audio. For a bespoke Atmos mix made by the sound team, games would need a patch.

Dolby Atmos support is only one of the new features available as part of the new PlayStation 5 beta firmware update which is now available for invited users. Among the new features are social feature enhancements, Game Help improvements, a search feature for the user's library, and support for larger-capacity M.2 SSDs of up to 8 TB. More information on the beta firmware can be found on the Official PlayStation Blog. A public release date for the new firmware update introducing these features has yet to be officially confirmed.
