SteelSeries Sonar is a Windows-based audio software designed to enhance gaming audio on PCs. Unfortunately, it is not directly compatible with gaming consoles like Xbox or PlayStation.
However, if you own a SteelSeries Arctis Nova ٥ headset or Arctis GameBuds™, you can download the Arctis Companion App on your mobile device. This app allows you to access over ١٠٠ game-specific audio presets and customize your audio experience for use on consoles, giving you enhanced audio even without Sonar.

Yes, you can use Engine within SteelSeries GG to customize and optimize your SteelSeries headset. Engine allows you to adjust settings like:
- EQ profiles
- Surround sound
- Mic levels
- RGB lighting (for supported devices)

However, if you're looking for next-level audio customization, Sonar—also available in SteelSeries GG—offers advanced features such as:
- More than ١٨٠ game presets
- Five-Channel Audio Mix: Game, Chat, Media, Aux, Mic for precise audio balancing
- Microphone AI Noise Cancellation (your voice)
- Chat AI Noise Cancellation (on your friends voice)
- 3D Spatial Audio for immersive soundscapes
- Streamer Mode optimized for live-streaming setups
And more

While Engine provides great device-specific settings, Sonar allows for advanced audio control, enabling you to have separate tuning for different audio channels. For example, you can have noise canceling on your chat channel while keeping a game preset for your game audio. If you use only Engine, all your sound will have the same tuning, which means you might miss out on the specialized audio experience that Sonar offers.

For the best audio experience on PC, we recommend using Sonar for its superior customization and advanced features. Both tools are available for free within SteelSeries GG, giving you the flexibility to choose the best solution for your gaming or streaming needs.
