Vi vet inte när uppdateringen kommer att skickas ut. Vi inte ens om det kommer att handla om första eller sista kvartalet 2017, vi vet bara att det kommer att ske - under nästa år. Något som bör glädja mången ljudtokig gamer. För Xbox One kommer att kunna skicka ut bistream-ljud inom kort, vilket innebär att det kommer att gå spela upp Dolby Atmos (3D Surround) via konsolen. Just nu finns det, vad vi vet, bara ett enda spel som stödjer Atmos och det är Blizzards Overwatch - men fler kommer ju naturligtvis att komma.

Såhär skriver Microsoft i pressreleasen:
"If you play Overwatch, that sentence may give you nightmares. It's Pharah's catch phrase as she hangs in the air and lets loose a barrage of rockets that destroy everything in their path. Pharah's attack is so effective in part because you may not be able to tell where it's coming from.
But I have a secret weapon to defend against Pharah's barrage: Dolby Atmos. Dolby Atmos is sound so precise you can pinpoint exactly where Pharah is and avoid her wrath. And the great news is that starting next year, Dolby Atmos will be coming to Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs and tablets.
With Dolby Atmos, sound moves precisely all around and above you. You can hear where your allies and enemies are in three-dimensional space. Snipers on the roof? You'll hear them over your left shoulder and know where to aim to take them out. The same goes for an attacker with a jet pack hovering behind you.
Beyond its tactical advantages, Dolby Atmos also makes your experience of a game much more intense. You'll feel like you're inside the action as the voices, sounds and music move all around you.
Xbox will be the first game console to feature Dolby Atmos and game developers are excited about using the new capabilities to make their games richer and more engaging. Atmos support for the Blu-ray app on Xbox is already available in Preview and will be released to GA soon - and we're very excited now to offer Atmos support to games on Xbox One and Windows 10.
You'll be able to experience Dolby Atmos in your home theater, assuming you have a Dolby Atmos enabled speaker system or soundbar. But you don't need to have that kind of equipment - it will be possible to enable virtually any pair of headphones with the Dolby Atmos experience.
Mike Ybarra, Xbox's Head of Platform Engineering, had this to say on our exciting partnership: "At Team Xbox, we are all gamers first, and bringing Dolby Atmos support to Xbox One and Windows 10 gaming next year will bring you even further inside the action and sound of your favorite titles. A big thank you to the team at Dolby for their partnership; we're excited to share more with the Xbox community next year."
Of course, Dolby Atmos is great for more than just games. The technology began in the cinema and many of Hollywood's top films are available on Blu-ray disc or streaming with Dolby Atmos sound. With Dolby Atmos, you're immersed in the movie like never before, with sounds moving all around you, just as it does in real life. You'll get that immersive experience whether you're playing a Dolby Atmos film on your Xbox One or a Windows 10 PC or tablet."
