• Immerse Gamepack Version 2.2 Update – A New Dawn for Immerse Gamepack

  -
  

  Immerse yourself in the sounds of Eorzea and beyond in a full 360 degrees, and take your adventures to the next level with the Immerse Gamepack FINAL FANTASY XIV Edition audio add-on!
  
  Immerse Gamepack FINAL FANTASY XIV Edition has just received its Version 2.2 Update, bringing the clearest spatial audio experience yet to FFXIV.
  
  If you haven’t tried Immerse Gamepack yet, or would like to try it again with all of the latest improvements, a 30-day free trial will be available to all users so you can experience Version 2.2!

  Version 2.2 Update Features

  • Further Improvements to HRTFs
    

    Improvements to the Phase Response and Interaural Time Delay (ITD) of Immerse personalized HRTFs enhance clarity and fidelity, especially for higher frequencies. The maximum number of allowed profiles has been increased, and players are encouraged to create a new HRTF profile to take full advantage of the latest improvements.

  • Improvements to the HRTF AI Algorithm
    

    Immerse can now interpret more information about your ears and facial dimensions to better predict your optimal personalized HRTF. This improvement tightens up the timing of audio signals, resulting in clearer sound quality and a reduction in muffled sound.
