Sony is known for its innovation in electronics, entertainment, and gaming, blending cutting-edge technology with creative content. When it teamed up with Honda to reveal its first electric car prototype, the AFEELA, the car attracted strong interest at CES 2023. As CES 2026 approaches, the AFEELA is once again drawing attention. Sony Honda Mobility recently announced that the car will include PlayStation Remote Play, making it the first car to have this feature. The announcement was made on December 18, 2025. The new system inside the car will let users stream and play games from their PS4 and PS5 consoles directly through the car’s entertainment screen.
The AFEELA allows users to stream games from their PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 at home directly onto the car’s infotainment screens. This works through PlayStation Remote Play, which connects over the internet. Owners will need to already have a PlayStation console and a stable internet connection to use the feature. Sony Honda Mobility has clarified that the system is intended for use only when the vehicle is parked, keeping safety as a top priority.

This makes it ideal for breaks during road trips or waiting periods in cities.The vehicle is expected to feature multiple screens across the front of the cabin, along with additional screens for rear passengers. These displays work together with the car’s sound system to create a cinema-like experience. Players can also use their regular PlayStation controller, making it easy to continue gaming without learning anything new. The focus is clearly on giving passengers more ways to relax and enjoy their time on the road.

Sony Honda Mobility does not view the AFEELA simply as an alternative transportation solution but rather considers it a lifestyle product. The firm would like consumers to view driving the AFEELA not as an activity separate from their online life but rather an extension of it. Sony Honda Mobility leverages an existing brand name in incorporating PlayStation into its new vehicle. This not only pulls in Sony PlayStation followers but also differentiates the AFEELA from its competitors in an electric vehicle market where all cars have been noted to have similar driving functionality.

While the idea of bringing console-quality gaming into cars is not entirely new, as car makers including Tesla have experimented with in-vehicle gaming systems, the AFEELA offers something different. It allows the use of an existing and popular gaming platform rather than a car-developed system, enabling owners to access a vast library of games they already own.
Users first got a look at the AFEELA at CES 2023, and the first version of the car is expected to launch in the U.S. market by 2026. According to reports, the vehicle is likely to be priced at around $102,000, which roughly translates to Rs 91,00,000.
