Sony has debuted conceptual technology at CES 2025 that would essentially allow gamers to enter the worlds of PlayStation games such as The Last of Us and see, shoot, and even smell the baddies.

Footage of the Future Immersive Entertainment Concept was shared in the video below, and shows a giant cube players enter similar to the multi-person virtual reality experiences currently available. This isn't VR, however, as the cube is instead made of incredibly high definition screens that present the game world around the player.

Looking to boost the immersion further, players are also delivered "engaging audio" and even "scent and atmospherics with interactive PlayStation game content." The players in the video also had imitation weapons and would shoot at the screens as clickers appeared, presumably getting a whiff of rotten fungus and other offenses as they did so.
