Besides SSD-powered load times and ray tracing, audio improvements have often been cited by Sony and Microsoft as one of the pillars of the next-generation experience. Sony's PlayStation 5, in particular, has attracted praise and interest for its Tempest audio engine, which aims to deliver 3D audio to headphones and later to TVs and home theater setups as well.

That's not all, however. In an interview published this week with GamesIndustry, Sumo Digital Nottingham Senior Programmer Joe White explained that the Tempest engine can also help developers with their audio workflows.
