How to play Minecraft on a Tesla
By Lation, Model Y owner · Updated
There's no Minecraft for Tesla, but Minecraft for Windows (the Bedrock edition from the Xbox app or Microsoft Store) plays on the center screen from your own PC: install Gigaplay for PC, type its code in the car at gigaplay.app, and tap Minecraft in the Games tab. It plays with a PS5 controller connected to the car, parked or while driving (for passengers).
Which Minecraft works
| Edition | Controller | In the car |
|---|---|---|
| Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock, Xbox app or Microsoft Store) | Built in | Yes. Listed in the Games tab on its own |
| Minecraft: Java Edition | None without mods | Not listed: it needs a keyboard, and the car has only the touchscreen |
Bedrock is the one with cross-play, so you can join friends on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or phones, and Realms work as usual.
Set it up
- Install Minecraft for Windows on your PC from the Xbox app or the Microsoft Store, and start it once there.
- On the PC, go to gigaplay.app/pc, run the installer and note the code. If Windows warns about an unknown publisher, choose More info, then Run anyway.
- In the car's browser, go to gigaplay.app, tap Open, open Games and type the code.
- Minecraft for Windows appears with its Store picture. Tap it to start it on the PC.
When you're done, open the menu (the corner button, or Create and Options together) and choose End: it closes Minecraft on the PC and puts the PC's screen back.
How Gigaplay finds it
Games from the Xbox app live in an XboxGames folder on one of your drives, each with a small file describing the game. Gigaplay reads those, so other PC Game Pass games you've installed show up the same way.
Questions
Can you play Minecraft in a Tesla while driving?
Passengers can, with Gigaplay. Tesla's own Arcade games stop when the car leaves Park. The center screen is in the driver's view, so check the law where you are; more here.
Does it need Game Pass?
No. It needs Minecraft for Windows on your PC, bought or through PC Game Pass, the same as playing at your desk.
What controller works?
A PS5 DualSense paired with the car over Bluetooth (how). The touchscreen also works as a mouse for menus.
