JAKARTA - Sony through its collaboration with Honda will bring the PS5 Remote Play feature to the Afeela electric car. This feature makes Afeela the first electric car to support PlayStation Remote Play natively, allowing passengers to play PS5 games directly from the screen inside the vehicle.
Afeela is the first electric car from Sony Honda Mobility (SHM), a joint venture between Sony and Honda. With Sony's involvement, the presence of PlayStation-based entertainment features is a step that is considered reasonable. SHM officially announced the addition of this PS5 Remote Play feature on December 18, 2025.
The presence of Remote Play on Afeela marks a different approach compared to other in-car entertainment systems. Previously, Tesla had attracted attention by presenting games on the infotainment screen of its car. However, the solution from SHM allows users to access their entire PS5 game library through Remote Play, not just the built-in game.
This PS5 Remote Play feature will be directly integrated with the screen in the car. The Afeela has a screen on the back of each front seat, which passengers can use to stream PS5 games complete with built-in car audio. Thus, passengers can play games during the trip without the need for additional devices.
In addition, Remote Play can also be accessed through the main screen on the front, provided the car is parked. This feature is considered suitable for filling time while waiting, for example when the car is charging the battery.
In order for this feature to be used, the owner of Afeela must have a PS5 console that is on in the house. This is in accordance with the way Remote Play works which relies on direct streaming from the user's console. Therefore, users need to make sure that the PS5 is not turned off before leaving the house if they want to play games from the car.
Sony Honda Mobility has not revealed the exact schedule for the availability of this PS5 Remote Play feature for Afeela owners. However, the feature is expected to begin to be available in 2026. Although it does not fully support cloud-based game streaming, the presence of Remote Play in this electric car remains an interesting innovation in the development of future vehicle entertainment systems.
