In the news we shared with you at the beginning of 2022, we talked about the future of the world’s most popular online gaming platform, Steam, for Tesla cars. In the statements made by Elon Musk, it was stated that the integration studies are continuing and the infotainment screens in Tesla have the potential to open all the games on Steam.
Elon Musk made new statements on the subject, which attracts 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 such a study?
In fact, the infotainment screens used in Tesla cars already allow gaming. In this context, games like Cuphead and Sonic the Hedgehog 1 come preloaded to this screen. Tesla owners can also play games to pass the time while their vehicles are charging. However, this is not the case. Elon Musk announced that games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher will also come to Tesla cars in his statements a while ago. In summary; Tesla cars will be able to run all games on Steam.
Elon Musk and the Tesla team care about in-car entertainment systems. However, installing games on infotainment screens and making these games playable is not easy at all. This is where Steam will step in. Instead of installing individual games on their infotainment screens, the company will integrate Steam. In this way, an intermediary software will make it easier for Tesla to reach its goal. August 2022 looks like a time when we talk about Tesla more than ever before.
Tesla will open the game, but how much is the hardware power?
In terms of technical features of Tesla cars, it is strong enough to give the same performance as PlayStation 5. For example, Tesla Arcade has AMD RDNA2 Navi 23 GPU. The power of this GPU; It was recorded as 10 TFLOPS. The GPU power of PlayStation 5 is 10.28 TFLOPS. It is not possible to say anything clear for now, but Tesla seems to have the potential to challenge the best game consoles in the world.
