“We’re so excited to bring on pioneering Dolby Atmos immersive audio to amplify the player experience,” said Vincent Wang, Head of PUBG MOBILE Publishing, Tencent Games. “Even more than visuals, sound plays a key role in immersing players in PUBG MOBILE to keep them on their toes and in the middle of the action.
