Volkswagen is set to be the first major automotive brand in the U.S. to offer AirConsole, an in-vehicle gaming platform, starting in select 2027 models. This innovative feature allows passengers to play multiplayer games directly on the infotainment display using their smartphones as controllers while the vehicle is parked.
Key Highlights:
- Game Library: Launching with 20 games, including popular titles like PAC-MAN™, UNO® Car Party!, and Tetris®.
- Easy Connection: Passengers can connect by scanning a QR code on the screen.
- Immersive Experience: Some games will integrate with vehicle ambient lighting.
- Customization: Volkswagen will offer exclusive versions of games, adapting content to reflect the brand.
Subscription Model:
AirConsole is part of Volkswagen’s In-Vehicle Premium connected services, available to eligible models through the myVW app. While select models come with complimentary access for a limited time, ongoing access will require a subscription after that period.
Volkswagen aims to enhance social interactions during travel, marking a significant step in the integration of technology and entertainment in vehicles.
