Opus is a patent free, open source digital audio format using a lossy compression algorithm similar, but vastly superior, to formats like MP3, OGG, and AAC, and has become the official Internet audio standard format.

The format was built on existing free audio codecs by the Xiph.Org Foundation and standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force

Opus has only recently been deemed the Internet standard audio format, but we should expect to see many web-based games using it in the near future.

How to Obtain

OPUS files usually have to be extracted from a game's resource files, although they're sometimes left as is.
