The Tesla video game library is set to grow at least one more time before the end of 2019, and it's not some dusty, old arcade game this time.
Cuphead, the infernally challenging side-scoller featuring beautiful hand-drawn art that was released in 2017 for PC and Xbox One, is up next. It should be playable on the dashboard screens in Tesla Model 3, Model S, and Model X cars sometime during summer 2019.
Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk confirmed the plan during an appearance on Ride the Lightning, a weekly Tesla podcast hosted by IGN's Ryan McCaffrey. According to Musk, the game is already up and running thanks to some help from Cuphead developer Studio MDHR.
In a subsequent chat with Maja Moldenhauer, a producer and artist at the studio, McCaffrey confirmed a couple more details. The game is running "nice and clean" she said, though Tesla storage limitations mean that only the Inkwell Isle One section of the game will be playable in cars.
Maybe this will be the first ever game to receive downloadable add-on content for their car's dashboard screen?

As anyone who's played the game surely knows, it's a fast-paced and highly challenging shoot 'em up that requires more hand-eye dexterity than touchscreen controls typically allow.
The other games released for Tesla cars, under the TeslAtari banner, are older and simpler. The list includes: 2048, Super Breakout, Missile Command, Asteroids, Lunar Lander, and Centipede. Though Musk hinted on Twitter in May that he hoped to get support for more advanced games running soon.
