You can stream PS5 games to a Sony car but not a Sony TV

techradar.com:

Sony has unveiled a prototype in collaboration with Honda which allows you to stream PS5 games from the passenger seats of an electric car. Bizarrely, unless Sony announces anything before the Honda Afeela goes on sale, this means you’ll be able to stream PS5 games on a car before any other devices outside of the PlayStation ecosystem. 

After months of speculation, Sony and Honda announced at CES 2023 they aim to launch the Afeela smart car in 2026. Sadly, this means we won’t see truly mobile PS5 games for some time – yes, I’m considering the Afeela the spiritual successor of the PS Vita. 

Instead of including any local PS5 gaming hardware in the Afeela, games will be streamed to passengers’ screens. That does mean you won’t be able to use discs to play games when in areas with poor internet service, and you better save before going into any tunnels. 

It’s not just the insides of the Afeela which can stream content, as it was revealed during Sony’s CES 2023 Press Conference that there is a ‘media bar’ screen on the vehicle's exterior, too. Apparently, that can be information like the weather and the car’s battery level, but also adverts. This was demonstrated with an advertisement for Spider-Man: No Way Home displayed on the vehicle’s roof. As for whether you’ll be able to project gameplay out onto the screen as you go remains to be seen. 

The CEO of Sony Honda Mobility, Yasuhide Mizuno, stated that pre-orders will begin in the first half of 2025 with the first sales expected to go live at the end of the year. With this Sony CarStation still likely to be three years away, if it ever goes into consumer production, the point remains as to why we’re seeing cloud streaming in a motor vehicle before a gaming TV.
