Black Ops 6 isn’t the only game to offer personalized spatial audio through Embody, but it’s one of only a few to currently partner with the company. Final Fantasy XIV has offered personalized audio through Embody for a few years, while Cyberpunk 2077 added the option earlier this year.

While Embody isn’t the only third-party company out there offering personalized spatial audio for games, it’s rare to see the option built into the game’s menus. Unlike other third-party services, Embody’s spatial audio is developed in tandem with each game’s developers–however this means you have to pay for a separate “Immerse Gamepack” for every game you want to use it with.
While Embody’s Gamepacks aren’t overly expensive for a five-year period, the jury is out on whether they’re worth paying for at all. Many Final Fantasy XIV players aren’t impressed with the audio offering, according to Reddit posts on the subject, and some have pointed out that what Embody provides is not too different from Dolby Atmos.
