According to reports, Tesla recently partnered with PUBG Mobile to integrate its products into this popular game. In the past few years, Tesla has ported many video games to its own vehicle platform. Today, the situation is just the opposite. This week, the PUBG Mobile released version 1.5 update, announcing cooperation with Tesla to integrate Tesla’s products into the game.
PUBG Mobile team stated: The technological transformation of the Erangel map has attracted the attention of Tesla. Tesla will build a Gigafactory factory on the Erangel map to produce its classic models and provide a More advanced autonomous driving experience and transportation solutions. In the new mode (Mission Ignition), players will be able to experience Tesla exclusive content.
The following is the actual situation of the integration of Tesla products into the game:
- Tesla Gigafactory: The Tesla Gigafactory will appear on the map. Activate all the switches of the factory assembly line, start the car assembly process, and produce a Tesla car-Model Y.
- Model Y+ Autopilot: The self-driving cars produced by Tesla’s Gigafactory factory have an autopilot mode that can be activated on the highway on the map to automatically take the player to a preset marked location along the highway.
- Tesla Semi pickup truck: These self-driving vehicles developed by Tesla will appear randomly on roads in the wild and will drive automatically on specific routes. Get combat supplies by inflicting damage on Semi and causing it to drop into a supply box.
Obviously, this is the latest development of Tesla’s continuous march into the field of video games. Moreover, when you realize that Tencent Games owns PUBG and Tencent is a major shareholder of Tesla, it becomes more understandable. In fact, Tesla had previously conducted a similar integration with the Chinese version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds mobile game Peace Elite.
For Tesla, the integration helps increase its popularity. After all, the mobile game PUBG has been downloaded more than 1 billion times, and it is also one of the most popular mobile video games in the world. It was previously reported that Tesla has a team of software engineers in Seattle developing video games. Recently, Tesla started to build a similar team in Austin.
Tesla Motors has a video game platform called Tesla Arade, and Tesla has been working with video game studios to port games to this platform. At present, these mainly create some added value for its user experience. But in terms of its in-car games, Tesla may have bigger plans.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has recently stated that he believes that when the car drives itself, entertainment will be crucial, and he believes Tesla can achieve this goal later this year (Autopilot). In order to be prepared, Tesla has released more video games on its Tesla Arade and said it may turn it into a business.
