  I haven't heard about surround sound speaker placement being different for games and movies. I imagine most sound designers mix to Dolby specifications since it's the most widely used surround sound.
  Battlefield 1 and Star Wars Battlefront both support Dolby Atmos on PC. I believe a HDMI cable needs to be plugged into a Dolby Atmos receiver for it to work.
  If you read anything about speaker placement for games and movies being different please post a link because I enjoy learning about audio technology.
