What is the name of Tesla's in-car video game platform?

The story behind the answer

Tesla’s in-car video game platform is called Tesla Arcade.

Tesla Arcade is a software feature built into the vehicle’s central touchscreen and infotainment system. It groups playable titles inside the car, turning the display, computing hardware, and—in some games—the steering wheel or a paired controller into a compact game system.

Tesla launched Arcade through a software update in June 2019. Early offerings included simple games such as Beach Buggy Racing, chess, and classic Atari-style titles. Later additions included Cuphead and other games, although availability has varied by vehicle, hardware, software version, and market.

Tesla Arcade is easy to confuse with Tesla Theater and Toybox. Theater is the entertainment area for streaming video, while Toybox contains playful features and customizations such as games, effects, and demonstrations. Arcade is specifically the gaming hub. Safety restrictions have also changed over time; many games are designed to be used only while the vehicle is parked, while some entertainment functions support passengers in newer configurations.
