Some key features of the update are automated low latency “game mode” and Night Listening Mode. The game mode creates a smoother gaming experience. Night Listening Mode offers a more consistent listening experience. It does this by automatically adjusting the volume of loud sounds, like explosions, and quieter sounds, like dialogue.
