Expanding their library with more games and game types. The Developers of this progressive tech giant have come a long way. In this list we will delve deeper and find out what makes these games stand out.
It’s not quite at the level of Xbox, PlayStation or your own gaming PC, but it is deeply impressive for a car and it’s closer than you might think.
Beach Buggy Racing 2
Now playing on your couch is a thing of the past. You can enjoy driving a buggy with your own pedals and steering wheels! Drive through 22 racing tracks and smoke your competition and hail yourself king of the hill!
Cat Quest
A hack and slash game more popular on the mobile platform. Take control of this heroic feline and search for his kidnapped sister. Fight monsters and discover other feline friends to help you on your journey. Save the day and show them who the man is!(cat).
Cuphead
Described as a more cheerful version of Bloodborne and Dark Souls, Cuphead: Don’t deal with the devil is a side scroller full of action. Play as Cuphead or Mugman and fight through levels of endless bosses to repay your debt to the Devil. Sadly, this game only works if you have a USB controller and can only be played while the car is stationary.
Fallout Shelter
A free to play simulation from Bethesda, you are tasked to build and manage your own fall out shelters. Oversee building survival necessities and watch your civilization thrive. Steering wheel controls have been adapted so you can play, skip or pause while the car is in park.
Stardew Valley
A top down point and click adventure game where you inherit your grandfather’s farm. Not everything is cherry though, as the farm is broken down and you have to build it from the ground up. Grow crops, raise livestock, forage and sell produce. Make that moo-lah!
Tesla also added some Atari classics such as 2048, Asteroids, Centipede, Super Breakout, Lunar Lander and more!
New Games, New Style
For now, there is no word yet from game developers if AAA games would be added in the future, but for now, these three games would be a welcome inclusion to the mix
Skyforce Reloaded
A vertical shooter reminiscent of games of the past, commandeer your plane and shoot through enemies while collecting power-ups. Colossal explosions as you save the universe!
Solitaire
A virtual version of an old card game. Arrange the cards systematically with a limited number of moves. Beat the game by choosing your cards and dealing with them wisely.
Battle of Polytopia
A turn-based game(think of Final Fantasy and Pokemon), where you play as one of the sixteen tribes to build your empire and defeat enemies throughout a low res world. Build your kingdom with the blocks of your enemies.
Play and Drive
All Tesla vehicles are equipped with touchscreen displays that allow control and navigation for the owner. Each game has virtual on-screen controls to enable gameplay.
Some are even wired to the steering wheel and paddles that let you control the games if you turn the wheels. Interactive fun for such a nifty contraption. Some issues have popped up and users have voiced concerns that the system can be overridden while driving so you can play games.
In the future, this shouldn’t be a problem according to Tesla engineers as automatic steering and adaptive cruise becomes a reality.
Final Thoughts
Driving and playing video games with your car was a foreign concept from a couple of years back. But now Tesla is bringing the technology front and center. Gear up. It’s time to play!
