Steam integration is coming to Tesla vehicles?
Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has revealed plans to demo "Steam integration" within their high-tech vehicles in the near future, stating that the company plans to showcase a "demo" of the function "probably next month".
Tesla's latest vehicles feature high performance AMD processors and Radeon GPUs within their infotainment system, giving the vehicle enough performance to play modern PC games. With Steam integration, Tesla's vehicles will gain access to a vast library of games, giving users of the vehicle access to a tonne of new entertainment options.
Currently, gaming is possible through the Tesla Arcade, a service that supports a limited selection of games on Model S and Model X vehicles. At this time, it is unknown how Steam will be integrated into Tesla's vehicles, though it is possible that the vehicles will utilise a form of SteamOS, giving Tesla vehicles access to the same library of content as Valve's Steam Deck handheld.
With Steam integration, Tesla owners should be able to play games like Elden Ring, God of War, and Dying Light 2 while on the road. That said, limitations will likely be put in place to prevent drivers from gaming on the road.
