Sony and Honda are fusing gaming with electric vehicles in a game-changing move. The Afeela EV from Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) becomes the world’s first car with native PS5 Remote Play support, letting passengers stream their entire PS5 library directly from in-car displays. Forget Tesla’s arcade games—this is your full console experience on wheels.
Rear-Seat Gaming Bliss and Parked Play
Announced on December 18, the feature integrates seamlessly with Afeela’s infotainment setup. Passengers can fire up games on the rear-seat screens (one behind each front seat), complete with integrated audio for immersive sessions during long drives.
When parked—like during EV charging—you can access Remote Play from the front display too, turning wait times into epic boss battles. Just ensure your PS5 is powered on at home, as Remote Play streams directly from your console (no cloud magic like PlayStation Portal).
Afeela: Sony’s Gaming EV Pioneer
The Afeela, SHM’s flagship EV from the Sony-Honda joint venture, blends premium mobility with entertainment. While Tesla pioneered in-car gaming years ago, Afeela one-ups it by unlocking thousands of PS5 titles. Expect rollout sometime in 2026, though exact dates remain under wraps.
This isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a peek at cars as mobile living rooms, especially as EVs prioritize passenger tech. Sony’s gaming DNA shines through, potentially setting a new standard for road trips.
