PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is getting 3D positional audio
Battlegrounds’ current in-game voice implementation sounds like just about every other multiplayer shooter out there, but in a game where positioning matters, the audio should take that into account more.
Which is exactly what’s going to happen. Developer Bluehole has announced that it’s working with Vivox to implement the latter’s positional voice tech into the game. This is actually a good fit for PUBG, especially if you’re willing to leave the in-game voice unmuted
Interestingly, the press release says that Vivox “enhances security by protecting user’s information from potential out-of-game threats.” This could mean be referring to player IP addresses, which are often – with the help of some software – easily available in games with VOIP. This can sometimes make players a target for DDoSing and other attacks.
Bluehole did not say when we should expect this feature to launch, though the game did just get the big September patch a day ago.

DecyMusket 3D positional audio sounds really cool, glad they are working hard to imvprove it
Will most likely be a lot of work but it should pay of.
I don't really see how it'll be benifical tbh.

I can't imagine it will be that much different to what it currently is but it's good they are focusing on improving that aspect since in game communication is key and especially if they are trying to make the game more competitive and esports ready.

Not really sure if this would be something I'd even notice tbh- but good to see they're actively adding features.

Sounds like it would be a interesting feature and then you admins talked about IP and DDoSing and got real spooky reading the article.
