The Tesla infotainment system could soon support your entire Steam library

techradar.com:

Elon Musk has revealed on Twitter that there are plans being developed to expand the gaming capabilities of the Tesla infotainment system, including the ability to add support for Steam. 

Musk confirmed in his Tweet that his team are also currently working on both specific title support after expressing on a post from CDProjekt Red's official Cyberpunk 2077 account that it was a ‘great game’ which prompted another user to asky when the Sci-Fi RPG would be arriving on either the Tesla Model S or Model X.

Considering that Steam has a 50,000 game library, Musk has claimed that this would be “obviously where we should be long-term”. The updated infotainment system for Tesla vehicles features a 17-inch display and contains AMD Navi 23 graphics. Tesla has kept the details of this AMD GPU a closely guarded secret, but it’s currently rumored that it features around 28 Compute Units clocked up to 2.8 GHz. 

We’re working through the general case of making Steam games work on a Tesla vs specific titles. Former is obviously where we should be long-term.February 22, 2022

If true, this would suggest that the Tesla infotainment system is capable of providing up to 10 teraflops of computing power – which isn’t far off the 10.28 teraflops boasted by Sony’s PS5. It’s little wonder then that Musk has previously teased other games would be playable on the EV from the CDProjekt Red library – namely The Witcher 3.

It’s likely that Tesla can piggyback off the hard work already completed by Valve to support as much of the full Steam library as possible on its upcoming Steam Deck console, which is based on the same AMD RDNA2 architecture. Large games like God of War, which was recently released for the PC platform, are able to run astonishingly well
