The record

Purpose: The SDK provides spatial audio features for immersive applications, including HRTF rendering, ambisonic playback and room acoustics.
Spatialization: The SDK uses HRTF-based object and ambisonic spatialization to help listeners localize audio sources in three-dimensional space.
Room acoustics: The SDK simulates room acoustics, including reflections and reverberation, for spatialized sounds.
Integrations: Meta documents plugins for Unity, Unreal, FMOD and Wwise.
Headset support: Meta says its spatialization features support PCVR and development for Quest, Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
Standalone plugin: The Unreal plugin integrates with the Unreal Audio Engine and operates independently of the Meta XR Plugin.
Distribution: The Unity package is available through the Meta Horizon Developer Center and the Unity Asset Store.
Feature status: Version 85.0 is the final release and the SDK is on feature freeze, with no further updates planned.
Compatibility limit: Meta says compatibility with future versions of the supported engines and middleware is not guaranteed.
Bug support: Meta says bug reports will be acknowledged, but fixes are not guaranteed.
Wwise support: Meta says the Wwise plugin is now supported through Wwise Launcher and Audiokinetic, and its Meta Developer Center documentation will no longer be updated.
