The Afeela EV adds PlayStation Remote Play support to its System
The Afeela EV includes PlayStation Remote Play functionality that allows users to stream games from a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 console directly to the vehicle’s interior display. The feature enables gameplay while the vehicle is parked, using the car’s infotainment screen and audio system as a remote interface. Game processing remains on the console located elsewhere, with the vehicle acting as a connected display that mirrors gameplay in real time. A stable internet connection is required, and the console must remain powered on to support streaming.
The Remote Play capability is part of the broader digital entertainment system developed by Sony Honda Mobility, the joint venture between Sony and Honda. The system is designed to integrate gaming, media, and interactive software into the vehicle cabin rather than relying on cloud gaming services. The feature is intended for use during charging or stationary periods and forms part of the connected technology package planned for production models scheduled for release in 2026.
