/Well if you have a PlayStation 4 then you can’t play Studio MDHR’s hit Cuphead - however if you have an Xbox One, PC, Switch and now…a Tesla car, then you can. Announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on their weekly podcast, and posted by IGN - the gang at Tesla has gotten Cuphead working on their cars and will be available on Tesla's Model 3, Model S, and Model X by the end of the year.
“"Cuphead, we've got working," Musk said. "[The developers] have been helping us make it work. It's a cool game. It's insanely difficult. It's sadistically difficult. It's a twisted plot. It's dark. It looks like some cute little Disney thing and you're like, 'This plot is very dark'," he added with a laugh.”
Cuphead came out in 2017 and was a smash hit. DLC titled “The Delicious Last Course” was announced at last year’s E3 and we’re hoping to hear about it more…perhaps at this years E3.

Studio MDHR Says Cuphead "Guaranteed" To Return
/Talking to IGN, the gang from Studio MDHR confirmed that it's "guaranteed" that we'll see Cuphead again at some point. Before you get to excited though, it might be a ways off:
"But as far as what are our plans, what are we distinctly doing next, there's been zero time to really breathe or think," Jared added before Chad chimed in to note they "would have had two 30-minute chats about the future."
Given that the game quickly sold a million copies, this isn't a surprise. Maybe the next one will come to PlayStation 4.

Cuphead Deluxe Vinyl Soundtrack Coming Later This Year
/Along with getting a release date, Studio MDHR announced Cuphead will be getting a Deluxe Vinyl Soundtrack. Teaming up with iam8bit the soundtrack includes over 3 hours of 1930's style music. You can preorder the Vinyl soundtrack right here for a cool $100 dollars.
Iam8bit is proud to collaborate with Studio MDHR to bring you this period-specific thrill ride of jazz jollies and big band boisterousness - an outrageously rare treat comprised of four jam-packed records featuring some of the coolest and smoothest tunes you’ve ever grooved along to.
This is a spectacular sensation of a vinyl set, comprised of so much delicious, fully-orchestral decadence that we couldn’t resist creating a ridiculously complex custom companion package, stripped straight from the 1930s. Designer Jango Snow spared no detail in collaborating with the maniacally brilliant Studio MDHR to create this beautiful folio design, affectionately inspired by record sets almost a century old.
