Tesla will be adding the Cuphead game to Tesla Vehicles starting in August. The indie game was originally released for the Xbox One and Windows in 2017, boasting retro-themed animation graphics. Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, made the announcement that the Cuphead game will operate at 60fps on the Tesla platform. Tesla owners can connect gamepad controllers in order to play Cuphead or other titles, with the company planning to continue expanding its in-car game library.
The indie game has been released across a number of different platforms since its initial release, including for cross-compatibility with the macOS and Nintendo Switch platforms. The game is able to be played with either one or two players.
