Honda Is Bringing the PlayStation 5 Into the Car… Kind Of

Honda just announced something that sounds completely unhinged until you think about it for five seconds and realize, oh no, this actually makes perfect sense.

Through its 'Sony Honda Mobility' venture, Honda is integrating PlayStation 5–level gaming into the upcoming AFEELA electric vehicles. No, your car is not literally hiding a PS5 under the hood. This isn't about jamming a console into the glove compartment. It's about bringing PlayStation's gaming ecosystem and real-time rendering tech directly into the car's infotainment system.

In practice, this means passengers will be able to play high-end PlayStation games on the car's massive interior screens while parked or charging, using cloud-based processing powered by Sony's technology. Basically you are getting access to your home PS5 through the magic of cloud gaming. This is waiting-at-a-charging-station tech that actually respects your time.

And honestly? This feels inevitable. Cars are no longer just vehicles. They're screens on wheels. We already stream movies, doomscroll, and attend meetings from them. Gaming was the missing piece, and if anyone was going to bring it in properly, it was Sony.

What makes this interesting is that it's not a gimmick like "here's Snake on a dashboard screen." This is full access to your entire PlayStation library from inside your car. It's less about novelty and more about redefining what "in-car entertainment" actually means in an electric, always-connected future.

Are we all going to be gaming in our cars tomorrow? No.
Is this a glimpse at where the industry is heading? Absolutely probably. But also probably not. Because cloud gaming still sucks.

Still, having more options is always good.
