      It’s a tool for easily creating realistic audio in games. Basically you can give it a 3d environment, and it can bake sound propagation information so that sounds have realistic reverb and filters. They’ve used it for some of their recent games (most notably Half-Life: Alyx).

        God the sound design in Alyx was insanely good. I felt like I was legitimately in City 17 and it was terrifying. It was a really good showcase of what Steam Audio can do.
