Dying Light: The Beast Adds Embody Support on November 5

New Feature: Immerse Gamepack by Embody in Dying Light games

We’ve partnered with Embody to bring personalized 360° spatial audio to Dying Light 2: Stay Human and Dying Light: The Beast. Pinpoint approaching Infected above, behind, and around you with enhanced directional sound tuned to your ears and headphones.

• Enhanced Headphone Mode: Toggle the new feature via Settings > Audio > Enhanced Headphone Mode (optional; default audio remains unchanged when disabled).
• Universal Compatibility: Works with any standard stereo headphones or earbuds.
• Lifetime License: Continue using personalized spatial audio after the trial with an optional one-time purchase ($19.99 USD per platform)

Aside from this, there are no gameplay-related changes, and given how Techland seems to have moved on from The Beast, I wouldn’t expect future updates. But here’s to hoping.
