Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) says its AFEELA will add AFEELA PS Remote Play, letting you stream games from a PS5 or PS4 at home onto the car’s built-in interface. SHM is calling it the first vehicle to integrate PlayStation Remote Play directly into the in-vehicle infotainment system.
It is an easy pitch for anyone who has killed time in a parking lot or sat through a long pickup line. SHM says the idea is to play while the car is stopped, or to keep passengers entertained on longer trips, using the cabin display and audio instead of a separate screen.

Remote Play, now built in
Remote Play works by running the game on your home console and sending the video stream to another device, while your controls travel back over the internet. SHM says AFEELA makes the car that “other device,” with PS Remote Play baked into the IVI system.
Some key practical details are still missing, including how you will sign in, what the controller setup looks like, and whether SHM will lock it to parked-only use. Until that is clear, treat it as a convenience feature for idle time, not something meant for the driver’s seat in motion.
The promise, and the bottleneck
If you already own a PS5 or PS4, the upside is obvious: your library can follow you without hauling the console around. It also fits SHM’s broader strategy of selling AFEELA on cabin tech and experiences.
But streaming is picky. Even if you can hit 15Mbps, inconsistent coverage can still cause stutters, dropped sessions, or a feature that simply will not start in the places you want it most.
Deliveries next, plus what to watch
SHM links the announcement to AFEELA 1, which it says is scheduled to begin deliveries in California in 2026. That is when Remote Play stops being a show-floor demo and starts being judged on everyday reliability.
If you are tracking AFEELA PS Remote Play, watch for confirmation on parked-only rules, supported controllers, pairing steps, and any limits tied to data quality. For now, the practical move is simple: assume your signal matters as much as your console.
