Tesla drivers get ready, as another game is going to be available to you all soon! Elon Musk’s car company is pairing up with legendary game developers SEGA to bring the original Sonic the Hedgehog to the vehicle’s gaming library. How exciting!

We reported earlier this year that Tesla will be looking to provide more video games to their drivers, and they really have got right to it! It was only a few months ago when they advertised their job listing for a Video Games Engineer, so clearly they’ve found their person! Whilst it was stated that their technology could run games like Cyberpunk 2077, it should come as no surprise they’ve decided to start off with a slightly easier project. Baby steps, after all.

How did we hear this news, we hear you ask? Well it was announced through a press release, which also went onto to say that every Tesla model will be able to play. This will come as a relief to those Sonic lovers who don’t want to fork out for a new car just to get involved!

Not only this, but all players will need to do is plug in a handheld controller through one of the car’s USB ports to get going. It really is that simple! Nostalgia is really going to be kicking in for many owners too, as it’s going to be the exact same game that was released back in 1991. Did you throw your SEGA Genesis away years ago? Well fear not, because you’ll be able to relive it all here!

We must say, its quite the time to be a Sonic fan too. The next game in the main series was revealed at the latest game awards and is called Sonic Frontiers. For the first time in the franchise, it’ll be an open world adventure which will contain similar aspects to the Sonic adventure games. It seems that Dr Eggman discovers some ancient technology, and well that can never be a good thing can it?

The fun doesn’t stop there as well! Fans were also treated to a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, where we got our first glimpse at the iconic character Knuckles. Idris Elba sounds like he’s going to absolutely smash the role, so 2022 really can’t come soon enough for Sonic fans.

So what do you think about the latest announcements? Excited to get stuck into the classic game in your Tesla? Let us know down below. Additionally, make sure you head on over to our store to see all the sonic related goodies we have there!

The post Tesla Cars Will Have Sonic Games first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Twenty years ago, the idea of playing video games whilst driving on the M25 would of had the police knocking on your car window looking to revoke your licence. But today? Well step aside PlayStation and Xbox, because there looks to be a new favourite console in town- their name is Tesla.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been very vocal in the past about video game support for his vehicles. It looks like he’s going to back up his words with action, with a new job listing at Tesla suggesting that the company is looking to support their founders idea.

It’s still quite difficult to wrap my head around the idea of playing games in the car, but somehow Tesla have made it into a reality. With a powerful built-in infotainment display at the centre of most Tesla vehicles, drivers are already able to play arcade-like games whilst on the go.

Titles such as BeachBuggy Racing 2 and Fallout Shelter have been providing drivers with fun times on the go, with games like Cuphead even allowing you to hook up a controller for a true console-like experience.

It comes as no surprise Elon Musk is rather ecstatic with his company’s innovation. Earlier this year, he demonstrated Tesla Model S Plaids PS5 level performance by playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 60FPS. Impressive, right?

Well it seems Tesla aren’t intending to just stop there. A new job listing has indicated they’re about to get even more serious about what video games their cars will have to offer.

The position is for a “Video Games Engineer, Infotainment Software,” where the applicant will have the “incredibly rare opportunity to help build a video games platform” for the cars infotainment display.

Tesla aren’t oblivious to how difficult this feat will be, stating “Our goal is to set the bar for what video games in a car can be; much of this is uncharted territory having never been done before.”

Make no mistake- with all the technological innovations Tesla have made, this will certainly be up there with one of their most impressive. At least for gamers like myself that is.

For those thinking they have what it takes to fulfil this role, here are a couple of requirements they’re are demanding.

First of all, proficiency in C++ and a sturdy understanding of computer science concents is necessary. That’s just the basics, of course.

Applicants will be expected to “design, architect, implement and debug game platform interfaces and systems” and “work with a cross-functional team of hardware engineers, application/UI software engineers, QA/validation, and designers,” amongst other responsibilities.

Doesn’t quite sound like the easiest job in the world, does it? Well luckily for applicants they won’t be alone in the process.

Tesla have already advertised for video game roles in the past suggesting the role will be part of a continued development of any new models architecture.

In the world we’re living in today, it really does look like technological innovations for video games are limitless. Whether the demand to play Triple-A licence video games on the road is high remains to be seen. But it sure is an exciting thought.

All this talk of video games and driving getting you in the mood for a great car game? Check out all the high-speed fun go2games have to offer here.
