    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Tesla’s message alerts the customer that the company is “updating the gaming computer” in the Model X and says it’s “no longer capable of playing Steam games.” The message ends with a button for the customer to confirm they will proceed with the delivery.

    And we’re not seeing any signs that the automaker plans to remove Steam from current owners’ vehicles through a software update.

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk had hyped Steam as a selling point, advertising the new GPU as powerful with the ability to play top-tier games like Cyberpunk 2077.

    Initial 2021 models were not installed with sufficient RAM to support the advertised games, so Steam was not included.

    There’s speculation that Tesla might be backtracking on powerful gaming hardware in new Model S and X vehicles.

    Musk has been busy squeezing the company through hot-headed layoffs in an effort to make the company “absolutely hard core.” Tesla scaled back on what a new low-cost vehicle will look like and is going all in on building a robotaxi, which means games like The Witcher are no longer a priority.
