Sound Placed Around You
Hear Night City Move
Rain hits the pavement behind you. Footsteps close in from your left before you ever see who's coming. Something moves in a corner of the horizon you haven't looked at yet. This is Night City the way CD PROJEKT RED's own sound team hears it — placed around you, exactly where it's happening.

Personalized Spatial Audio
Immerse Yourself In Night City
Immerse is spatial audio built around you. A 10-second scan with your phone camera, and it learns how sound actually reaches your ears — then lines that up with the real sound design CD PROJEKT RED built into Cyberpunk 2077. The result doesn't feel like an effect. It feels like you're standing there.
Unlike a generic surround setting that gives everyone the same sound, this one's built around you, your headphones, and this game specifically.
One-time payment of $19.99 USD. No subscription. 14-day free trial.
Built For Your Ears, Not An Average
Built Around Your Ears
A 10-second video on your phone, and Immerse learns how you actually hear — not a generic average.
Works With Your Headphones
Any headphones work out of the box. If yours happen to be one of 180 profiled models, you'll get it dialed in even further.
Headtracking
Turn your head, and sounds stay locked where they actually are in Night City — not wherever your headphones happen to be pointing. Tracks off your webcam, off the sensors in supported headsets like the Audeze Maxwell 2, or both at once.
Made With CD Projekt Red
Built together with CDPR's own audio team, so it lines up with exactly what they made for Cyberpunk 2077.
//Before You Start
Get The Full Effect
Two quick things make a real difference. The in-app tour walks you through both, plus what to listen for once you're in.
-
Turn off other spatial audio
Running two at once muddies things up. Switch off Windows Spatial Sound, Dolby Atmos, or your headphones' own app, and let Immerse do the work on its own.
-
Pick your actual headphones
Choose your real model during setup rather than a generic option. That's what dials the tuning in to the hardware on your head.
Recommended First Listen
Where To Listen First
Go stand somewhere loud and busy and give it a minute. That's where it's unmistakable. It's every bit as sharp in the quiet — there's just less going on to prove it.
Kabuki Market
The voice behind you.
Jig-Jig Street
The car you didn't see coming.

Questions
Do I need special headphones?
No — any headphones work right away. If yours are one of the 180 models we've profiled, you'll get an even more dialed-in result, but it isn't required.
Does this work with my GOG copy?
Yes. The version you buy here on embody.co works with your GOG copy of Cyberpunk 2077. If you play on Steam, you can also pick up the Gamepack directly on Steam — same tech either way.
Is there a free trial?
There's a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. The Steam version includes a free trial option too.
I'm not hearing much of a difference.
Check two things. First, whether another 3D or surround setting is running at the same time — Windows Spatial Sound, Dolby Atmos, or your headphones' own app. Turn those off and use Immerse on its own. Second, that you picked your actual headphones during setup rather than a generic option. Fix those, then try a busy scene like Kabuki Market at rush hour.
Is the ear scan complicated?
No — it's a 10-second video with your phone camera. Well-lit, hair clear of your ears. That's it.
