Tesla to Integrate Steam for In-Car Gaming
30 May
Summary
- Tesla is making progress on Steam integration for in-car gaming.
- A demonstration of Steam integration is anticipated next month.
- Tesla cars can already run graphically intensive games.
Tesla is advancing its in-car entertainment by integrating the popular Steam gaming platform, according to CEO Elon Musk. He indicated on Twitter that significant progress is being made, with a demonstration potentially arriving next month.
This move could dramatically expand the gaming options available to Tesla drivers. Currently, Tesla vehicles offer a selection of pre-installed games. However, Steam's integration promises access to tens of thousands of titles, from indie games to major releases.
Recent Tesla models, such as the new Model S and Model X, are equipped with powerful AMD Ryzen CPUs and RDNA-2 GPUs, enabling them to handle graphically demanding games. Despite this capability, playing games while the vehicle is in motion is prohibited, a restriction reinforced after a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation in December 2021 concerning driver distraction.
