I'm not sure which one of you asked Sony to start making their games literally stink, but whoever you are, you're getting your wish:
Sony has unveiled a new gaming system that could allow PlayStation players to sniff their way through games like The Last of Us.
Unveiled at CES 2025, the Future Immersive Entertainment Concept (FIEC) features a huge, room-size setup designed to push the boundaries of immersive gaming. A trailer for the concept shows a giant cube built from high-definition LED screens that enables players to step directly into their favorite games (unfortunately, this isn't something you'll be setting up in your living room anytime soon).
In the trailer, players experience the postapocalyptic world of The Last of Us with enhanced audio and the addition of smell-o-vision, delivering a 'completely new experience.'
The "smell-o-vision" is only part of this endeavor. In fact the entire project is hugely ambitious and complex, involving essentially an entire room-sized video game setup:
