Sony and Honda to Enable PS5 Gaming Inside Cars

Sony Honda Mobility's Afeela 1 - Transforming Travel with PS Remote Play Integration

Sony and Honda's first vehicle from their joint venture, Sony Honda Mobility Inc., the Afeela 1, will allow passengers to play PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games via PlayStation Remote Play. The Afeela 1, announced on December 18, 2025, will debut in California in 2026. The PlayStation Remote Play feature will be integrated directly into the Afeela's In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system. This integration enables users to stream games from their consoles to the car's integrated screens and premium audio system. Similar to the PlayStation Portal, this functionality brings Remote Play on the go, extending the gaming experience beyond the home, but requires users to bring their own PlayStation controller. A stable broadband connection of at least 5Mbps (15Mbps recommended) is required, and Remote Play availability is subject to network conditions. Izumi Kawanishi, president of Sony Honda Mobility, stated that the inclusion of PS Remote Play reflects Afeela's vision: transforming travel space into an engaging and exciting place while elevating the travel experience to unprecedented entertainment levels. The car will feature an integrated 5G cellular connection to support this functionality.

Sony Introduces PlayStation 5 with 4K/120fps Streaming - Next Level In-Car Gaming Possibilities?

Sony also announced during CES 2023 a new PlayStation 5 model capable of streaming in 4K at 120 frames per second. This feature requires a PlayStation Plus subscription and a compatible TV, in addition to a strong internet connection. Notably, Sony isn’t the first to integrate gaming into vehicles. In 2022, BMW announced casual games for its smartphone-controlled vehicles, and Tesla previously integrated the Steam Controller into its cars before removing the feature after approximately 18 months.
