Sony and Honda have revealed that their upcoming Afeela 1 electric vehicle will support PlayStation’s Remote Play feature, enabling passengers to enjoy PS4 and PS5 games directly from the car's built-in infotainment system.

The details:

  • The Afeela 1, the first production model car from Sony Honda Mobility's joint venture established in 2022, will officially begin deliveries in California in 2026. The battery-powered car will be the first ever vehicle to feature direct PlayStation integration, as players can use Remote Play to stream games from their PS5 to its in-built infotainment system, though it doesn’t appear that it will support PlayStation Plus’ Cloud Streaming service.
  • “With PS Remote Play, users can remotely access and control their PS4 or PS5 console at home directly from the car’s interface using the Afeela In-Vehicle Infotainment system,” Sony Honda Mobility said in a statement. “It offers an enjoyable way for users to play games remotely from their console using an integrated display and premium audio system. Whether you’re waiting in your parked car or keeping passengers entertained on a road trip, Afeela’s integrated features let you enjoy the PlayStation experience right from your vehicle.”
  • This is not the first commercially available car to support AAA gaming directly, with Tesla releasing a native Steam app for its vehicles in 2022 and Xbox announcing that cars powered by LG's webOS Automotive Content Platform will be able to stream games via Xbox Cloud Gaming if they have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
