Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is the best example of PS5 3D audio yet

techradar.com:

The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is a timely reminder of just how great Nate and Chloe's adventures were all those years ago. However, the upgraded collection is also the perfect showcase of how the PS5's unique features can substantially impact the overall experience. And boy, do they make a difference.

Both games now include a 60fps ‘performance’ mode and 120fps ‘performance plus’ mode (a first for a PlayStation Studios game) that completely transform each game's look and feel. There's also satisfying DualSense controller support, seriously snappy load times, and the ability to import your PS4 save file so you can watch all the trophies you previously earned pop once again. 

But it's the more understated PS5 upgrade that's had the most significant impact on my playthrough. The PS5's Tempest 3D audio implementation in Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is genuinely remarkable and makes both games feel like I'm discovering them for the first time.  

If you're new to Sony's proprietary spatial audio technology — dubbed Tempest 3D audio — it's a sophisticated type of virtual surround sound that cleverly tricks your ears into thinking that audio is coming from all around you.

PlayStation 5's 3D audio, similarly to Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone: X, can also add height cues. That means a helicopter no longer sounds like it's hovering a few hundred feet away from you but instead can sound as though it's flying directly over your head. 

It’s a dramatic improvement over PS4’s 3D audio, which could only replicate around 50 unique sound sources at a time, compared to the hundreds of sound sources PS5’s 3D audio can replicate – and at higher quality to boot.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is the perfect source
