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.
