An important statement came from Elon Musk about Tesla. In the statements made, it was stated that work is continuing for Steam integration to be brought to Tesla cars. According to Elon Musk, Tesla cars will start running Steam as of next month.
In early 2022, in a news we shared with you, we mentioned that Steam, the world’s most popular online gaming platform, will come to Tesla cars. In statements made by Elon Musk, it was stated that integration work was ongoing and that the infotainment screens in Tesla had the potential to open all games on Steam.
Elon Musk made new statements on the subject that attracted the curiosity of game-loving adults. Mentioning that the work for Steam integration is in full swing, Musk pointed to August 2022. According to Musk, Tesla cars will most likely start running Steam as of next month.
Why is Tesla doing this?
In fact, the infotainment screens used in Tesla cars already allow for gaming. Games such as Cuphead and Sonic the Hedgehog 1 are pre-installed on this screen. Tesla owners can also play games to pass the time while their cars are charging. But that’s not all. Elon Musk announced a while ago that games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher will also come to Tesla cars. In summary; Tesla cars will be able to run all games on Steam
We’re making progress with Steam integration. Demo probably next month.

Elon Musk and the Tesla team care about in-car entertainment systems. However, it is not easy to install and play games on infotainment screens. This is exactly where Steam will come in. Instead of installing individual games on its infotainment screens, the company will integrate Steam. In this way, a middleware will make it easier for Tesla to achieve its goal. It looks like August 2022 could be a time when we talk about Tesla more than ever.
How much hardware power will Tesla unlock the game?
Tesla cars are powerful enough to give the same performance as PlayStation 5 in terms of technical specifications. For example, Tesla Arcade has AMD RDNA2 Navi 23 GPU. The power of this GPU was recorded as 10 TFLOPS. PlayStation 5’s GPU power is 10.28 TFLOPS. It is not possible to say anything clear for now, but Tesla seems to have the potential to challenge the world’s best game consoles.
