Tesla <\/span><\/a> is making a new game available to its vehicle owners, with a roll-out starting today<\/a>. The company started pushing out a new \u201cArcade\u201d app for its in-car infotainment system back in June at the annual E3 gaming conference, and now it\u2019s adding to the mix the most thrilling game around: Chess.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time games have been on Tesla\u2019s infotainment screens; it has had them available as \u201cEaster eggs,\u201d or hidden software features. Tesla began demoing Arcade in its showrooms back in June<\/a>, too, so that visitors to their showrooms could come in and give it a try through June 30.<\/p>\n

Tesla drivers can either play against their passengers, against their car or watch the car play against itself. Tesla\u2019s teaser for the release of the Chess game includes a western-themed Tesla driver playing in a field, which is an interesting narrative choice. The promo also notably has the person using this while parked, which is the only way you can actually play the games, for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n

When your car can do zero-to-sixty faster than you can make your next move, we call that a checkmate.<\/p>\n

Chess begins rolling out to the Tesla Arcade globally today \"?\"\"?\"pic.twitter.com\/cNRf3kAtAA<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to the update going out broadly, Tesla also announced that \u201cBeach Buggy Racing,\u201d a kart racing game you can control with Tesla\u2019s steering wheel, gets an update, which will let you use two game controllers at once to do local multiplayer with a passenger. Again, not while driving.<\/p>\n

Bethesda also revealed at E3 the mobile game Fallout Shelter being played on the in-car display, and Elon Musk has discussed opening up the platform more broadly to developers, so we\u2019ll see if that\u2019s the next step after this rollout of the Arcade app to users.<\/p>\n
