Sony Showcases Immersive Gaming Concept Featuring Scents at CES 2025

The proof-of-concept technology, demonstrated with The Last of Us, combines LED panels, audio, haptics, and scents to create an interactive gaming experience.

Sony's Future Immersive Entertainment Concept was unveiled at CES 2025, featuring a room-sized setup with Crystal LED panels and sensory enhancements.
The technology integrates atmospheric scents, haptic feedback, and dynamic audio to immerse players in the world of The Last of Us, a popular PlayStation franchise.
Participants in the demo used interactive tools like flashlights and gun controllers to engage with the environment and fend off in-game threats, including Clickers.
Sony emphasized that this is an early proof-of-concept project, with no confirmed plans for commercial release or broader availability at this stage.
The concept aligns with Sony's vision of 'narrative everywhere,' exploring new mediums to expand storytelling beyond traditional gaming platforms.
