We tried Sony’s new XYN headset: a game-changer for 3D content creators [Video]

Over the past few years, the market has been flooded with VR headsets, including the Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, and numerous other contenders, as companies race to establish themselves in the space.

At CES 2025, Sony unveiled the latest addition to this landscape — a brand-new VR headset and an entire line dedicated to spatial 3D content: Sony XYN.

What sets the Sony XYN headset apart from the competition is its focus. Unlike other VR headsets aimed at consumers for gaming or media consumption, the XYN line is designed specifically for creators working in 3D content development.

Mashable had the exclusive opportunity to preview the Sony XYN headset at CES, where it explored the headset’s cutting-edge spatial capture solutions and got a first look at the company’s latest motion capture studio.
