Sony’s virtual studio tours have become a hit with fans and industry insiders alike. The company launched the online experience earlier this year to give people a behind-the-scenes look at its film and television production facilities. Viewers can now explore soundstages, editing suites, and prop departments from their own homes.

The tours use high-quality video and interactive elements to mimic an in-person visit. Users can click through different areas of the studio and learn about how movies and shows are made. Many say the experience feels personal and engaging.
Demand for the virtual tours has grown steadily since their debut. Sony reports that thousands of people from around the world have signed up each week. Schools and film programs have also started using the tours as teaching tools. Students get a real-world view of careers in entertainment without leaving the classroom.
The idea came from Sony’s desire to stay connected with audiences during times when physical visits were not possible. It has since evolved into a permanent offering. The company updates the content regularly to include new sets and recent productions.
Fans appreciate the chance to see where their favorite scenes were filmed. Some tours even include commentary from directors, costume designers, and other crew members. This adds depth and context to what viewers see on screen.

Sony says it plans to expand the program by adding more studios and languages in the future. For now, the focus remains on making the current experience as smooth and informative as possible. Registration is free and open to anyone with an internet connection.
