Sony Honda’s Afeela 1 EV Will Build In PlayStation Remote Play

The car streams games from a home PS4 or PS5 via Remote Play, which needs solid broadband or 5G for smooth use.

Overview

  • Sony Honda Mobility says the infotainment system will mirror a user’s console to the car’s integrated displays with premium audio for in-cabin play.
  • The integration is console-to-car streaming rather than PlayStation Plus cloud streaming, so a PS4 or PS5 at home must be powered on.
  • Official guidance calls for a 5 Mbps minimum connection and 15 Mbps recommended, and the vehicle includes 5G though quality depends on signal strength.
  • Afeela 1 is the joint venture’s first production model, with initial deliveries scheduled for California in 2026.
  • Controller details are not fully specified; Vice reports native Bluetooth pairing for DualSense and says front-seat play is limited to when parked or charging.
