Krafton, the developer behind India’s popular battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), has teamed up with Dolby Laboratories to enhance the game’s audio experience. As part of this collaboration, Dolby Atmos sound technology will be integrated into Arena and Team Death Match modes in BGMI.
This update aims to provide players with a more immersive and realistic audio experience, bringing richer, multi-dimensional sound effects that improve gameplay. With Dolby Atmos in BGMI, players can better sense the direction of footsteps, gunfire, and other in-game audio cues, making the overall gaming experience more engaging and dynamic.
Seddharth Merrotra, Head of Business Development at Krafton India, noted the importance of sound in mobile gaming while making the announcement. To make use of the feature, you should have a Dolby Atmos-supported smartphone, such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro+.
CMO of Xiaomi India Anuj Sharma, also commented on the development and said,“By integrating Dolby Atmos into BGMI on Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, we’re bringing gamers closer to the action, making every moment more vivid and thrilling than ever before.”
Last year in March, PUBG Mobile also received a similar update. However, it was made available only to the Arena mode. “With Dolby Atmos, players will hear the battlefield come alive all around them with crystal clear detail. They will also be able to hear potentially game-changing sounds with pinpoint accuracy – like the movement of footsteps of an opponent creeping up on them. Together with vast soundscapes that completely immerse each player, Dolby Atmos will turn each PUBG MOBILE match into a hyper-realistic gaming experience,” the company said at the time of announcement.
