GTA 5 to become playable on Tesla Model S and X cars via steam, as predicted by Elon Musk

GTA 5 is going places. The touchscreen panels on Tesla Model S and X are pretty well-known for being a valuable panel to use on the road and for the many apps Tesla has included. After a partnership with Steam, Valve's digital gaming distribution platform, Tesla has brought several games on board.

Steam is one of the most prominent digital gaming providers on PC. Tesla has now brought Steam to their Model S and X, letting players game on the go. GTA 5 is among the many new games players can access, provided they have a Steam account with the games purchased.

This article will detail how gamers can play GTA 5 on the go in a Tesla Model S|X

Calling their cars a Gaming Rig might sound a tad too much, but that's what Tesla has managed to achieve. Tesla's Model S and X can be self-driven and are currently road legal. The car has a yoke-steering and enough processing power to let passengers play all the latest games.

All available games in the two cars can be played using a wireless controller paired with a wireless headset for a truly immersive experience. Elon Musk predicted in 2020 that it might just be a matter of time before someone "steals a Tesla while playing GTA on a Tesla."

It's not yet clear if the game will be playable while driving, as the official video by Tesla, linked above, shows the game, CyberPunk 2077, running with everything else turned off. Even a message on the instrument panel says Steam is running and advises drivers on how to turn it off.

Many fans took to social media to react to the news of playing the Steam catalog inside a Tesla. While some users hoped the option would remain disabled while driving, most others took to sharing a witty perspective.

Look out for the "Holiday Update" that should arrive on the two Tesla models that will bring Steam on board the vehicles.
