Apple today released tvOS 27.2, the first major update to the tvOS 27 operating system for the Apple TV 4K. The update is available via Settings > System > Software Update, or automatically for users with that feature enabled.
The headline addition is support for four-speaker surround sound, compatible with the HomePod, HomePod mini 2, and the upcoming fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. Users can configure surround sound with four HomePod mini 2 speakers, four second-generation HomePods, or a mix of two HomePods and two HomePod mini 2 units.
The HomePod mini 2 launches on October 30, while the new Apple TV 4K arrives on November 13. This update lays the groundwork for Apple's expanded smart home audio ecosystem ahead of the hardware releases.
