Sony and Honda's car will let passengers stream PS5 games with Remote Play
So, get this: Sony and Honda are teaming up to bring some serious gaming fun to their new electric car, the Afeela 1. I think it's a really cool idea, especially if you're someone who spends a lot of time on the road. Imagine being able to stream your favorite PS5 games while someone else is driving. It could definitely make those long trips a lot more enjoyable.
The Afeela 1, which is the first car from Sony Honda Mobility, will have PlayStation Remote Play built right into its entertainment system. You'll need your own PS4 or PS5 console at home to use it. Also, remember to bring your PlayStation controller with you in the car!
It's important to note that this is different from streaming PS Plus games through the cloud. You're basically using your car's screen and audio system to play games that are running on your console at home.
According to Izumi Kawanishi, this whole idea is about making travel more fun and engaging. They want to turn your car into a space where you can really enjoy yourself, and I think integrating PlayStation Remote Play is a pretty interesting way to do that. However, I wonder how safe it's going to be to play these games inside the car.
We've seen other car companies experiment with in-vehicle gaming before. For example, BMW announced casual gaming in its cars back in 2022, and Tesla even tried integrating Steam. However, Tesla ditched the idea after a while. Let's see if Sony and Honda can make this work in the long run!
