Microsoft has been steadily working to make Xbox playable on as many devices as possible, and its newest move takes that mission somewhere unexpected: your car.
Thanks to a collaboration with LG, Xbox Cloud Gaming will be integrated into vehicles powered by its Automotive Content Platform.
Since it uses the same webOS as LG smart TVs, the platform already offers apps such as Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube.
The addition of an Xbox app transforms compatible cars into full-fledged gaming setups for those with the right plan.
Which Cars Will Support This Feature First?
The collaboration begins with Kia’s EV line in Europe.
The Kia EV3 is the first to roll out with ACP and the Xbox app, with the EV4, EV5, and Sportage next in line.
By 2030, LG estimates that as many as 20 million vehicles could use its automotive system.
That means Xbox Cloud Gaming could become a standard backseat entertainment option in millions of cars over the next decade.
Even though the launch is still regional, it signals how strongly Microsoft and LG regard cars as the next stage of gaming growth.
How Will Passengers Play Xbox in a Car?
Passengers just need to open the Xbox app on the car’s infotainment screen, connect a Bluetooth controller, sign in with Game Pass Ultimate, and start streaming.
Titles already highlighted for the service include Forza Horizon 5, Gears of War: Reloaded, and Obsidian’s upcoming Outer Worlds 2.
Because it’s cloud-based, nothing needs to be installed, and the library updates automatically with the Game Pass catalog.
For anyone sitting idle at a charging station or keeping kids busy on a road trip, it’s designed to be as seamless as gaming on a TV.
Is It Safe to Game While in the Car?
Microsoft has been quick to point out that this feature complies with driving safety regulations.
Gameplay is restricted to passengers or while the car is parked—so this isn’t about sneaking in a Halo match while behind the wheel.
Still, the idea of games built into a car’s screen has sparked debate.
Some see it as the natural evolution of in-car entertainment, while others worry about how reliable cloud gaming will be on highways or through rural areas where internet signals are spotty.
For now, the focus seems to be on short trips, city driving, and EV charging downtime, where data connections are more stable.
