Xbox Cloud Gaming Arrives in LG Cars for In-Car Entertainment

Xbox and LG are bringing cloud gaming to cars

Get ready for a major upgrade to in-car entertainment! LG’s advanced in-vehicle platform is set to integrate an Xbox app, bringing cloud gaming directly to select internet-connected vehicles. This means you’ll soon be able to play full Xbox games right on your car’s infotainment system.

To dive into the action, you’ll need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This gives you access to a massive library of titles available on the service, plus any games you already own. Of course, your car will need a stable internet connection, and you’ll connect a compatible Bluetooth controller to play. Imagine passing the time with games like *Don’t Starve*, *Mafia: The Old Country*, or *Forza Horizon 5* during a road trip.

Now, before you envision yourself racing in *Forza* while navigating traffic, both LG and Xbox are making it clear: this feature is specifically for passengers. As Xbox stated in their announcement, “Whether you’re waiting at an EV charging station or trying to entertain your passengers on an extended road trip, pass the time by playing games keeping everyone entertained and making the journey feel more fun.” The goal is to make travel more enjoyable and keep everyone entertained during downtime.

This isn’t the first time in-car gaming has made headlines. Back in 2021, Tesla faced scrutiny when reports revealed drivers could play games on their cars’ infotainment system even while in motion. Following an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) into this “Passenger Play” function, Tesla quickly disabled the feature for moving vehicles. This history highlights why LG and Xbox are explicitly focusing on passenger-only use, learning from past lessons to prioritize safety on the road.

The future of in-car entertainment is looking incredibly interactive and fun. With Xbox cloud gaming coming to LG-powered vehicles, those long waits or extended journeys just got a major upgrade – perfect for keeping your passengers entertained.
