Just tested it on my Apple TV 4K (older addition). Already works with apps. Even Netflix!!!!
Sounds amazing on my AirPods Max. Now I no longer have to use my iPad as my streaming device to get spacial audio. Made my day.
How did you get your tv to update? I can't seem to find an update after adding the profile

EDIT: Figured it out. Turn off get beta updates and it shows up.

It's in. Confirmed a few moments ago.

Now if they would only add the profile switcher to the Home Screen or make it mandatory before watching so my family doesn’t mess with my watch history anymore… :oops:
