While it is still illegal and dangerous to play games on the massive touchscreen infotainment system of Tesla cars, that isn’t stopping the company from adding more distractions/fun activities to do. Fallout Shelter and the YouTube app are coming to Tesla vehicles. Tesla CEO Elon Musk made the announcement during a live chat with Bethesda Game Studios Director Todd Howard during Geoff Keighley’s E3 Coliseum event. The game will join indie platformer Cuphead on Tesla’s cars. At the event, they also showed off a demo of Beach Buggy Racing 2 where you can use the steering wheel of your car to steer your in-game vehicle. Now, let’s just hope we get far along with self-driving tech that the drivers can actually take advantage of these games. For now, it’s best to leave it to your passenger to play.

ASUS Republic of Gamers is going after Razer’s gaming smartphone line. According to a post on the ASUS ROG Weibo page, the ROG Phone 2 will now have a 120Hz refresh rate. And the Chinese fighting game Under The One Man will support the new refresh rate, with other compatible titles coming out at a later date. Tencent has partnered with the company to optimize its games for this device. The original ROG Phone had a 90Hz refresh rate for its Full HD OLED display. We don’t know right now if the new phone will use an OLED or LCD panel.
