Facepalm: A pitfall of big companies is that sometimes communication lines tin can get crossed, particularly with overseas counterparts. Microsoft seemed to take had this problem yesterday when its French web log moderators posted "inaccurate information" nearly Xbox Series X|S having sectional rights to Dolby Vision and Atmos.

Last month, Microsoft appear that Dolby Vision is coming to the Xbox Serial X|S. On Monday, the French version of Xbox Wire claimed that Dolby Vision and Atmos would be exclusive to its side by side-gen panel for 2 years. However, that does not appear to exist truthful.

Microsoft deleted the post (archived here) on Tuesday before issuing a statement declaring it has no exclusivity agreement with Dolby.

"A blog mail service was mistakenly published past a local Xbox team that included inaccurate information regarding exclusivity of Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision on Xbox Series X|S," a spokesperson told The Verge. "There is no exclusivity agreement of either tech on Xbox. We are proud to partner with Dolby to offer Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision to gamers on Xbox and will have more to share nigh the full general availability of Dolby Vision on Xbox Serial X|Southward soon."

Of course, just because there is no agreement does not mean the PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch will support either characteristic. Neither Sony nor Nintendo has announced plans to add Dolby tech to their devices. However, it is notwithstanding possible.

Sony's PS5 already has Atmos when playing Blu-ray DVDs. Nothing should be stopping information technology from expanding support to games. Additionally, while the Switch does not currently back up Dolby Vision or Atmos, its rumored Switch upgrade could be a good fit for these features.

Microsoft's adjacent-gen consoles already have Atmos support for gaming. Although Microsoft has not said when it is arriving, it appear Dolby Vision entered alpha testing ii weeks ago. So regardless of the lack of the supposed 2-year exclusivity agreement, it already has a skilful headstart on the competition.
