Adding Steam to its collection of in-car games would be an expansion of its offerings. We can expect a demo next month, according to Musk, who said the company is making progress with steam integration.

Cuphead and Sonic the Hedgehog 1 are two games that can be found in the built-inTesla Arcade, but adding more games to the store could give users access to a lot more. We don't know if the integration will allow users to make purchases on Steam while sitting in their cars or if there will be any games that can't be played in a car.

We’re making progress with Steam integration. Demo probably next month.

Musk has promised to bring Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher to newer Model S and X vehicles, but he hasn't done so yet. It could be an indication that the company is close to its goal.

The company is working through the general case of making steam games work on aTesla vs specific titles Musk is likely to make high-end titles available through a steam integration.

Last year,Tesla came under fire for changing its policies, first allowing drivers to play games only while in park, and then allowing them to play games when the vehicle is moving. After facing criticism from the NHTSA,Tesla once again pulled the plug on the game while driving.
