Volkswagen, AirConsole Teams Up To Offer In-Car Gaming Experience: Check Out Which Cars Will Get It First

Volkswagen plans to launch AirConsole in select European countries by mid-September, with further expansion and additional games expected by early 2025.

Volkswagen is teaming up with AirConsole, a popular gaming platform, to offer a new in-car gaming experience to drivers and passengers. The feature will be available in a range of Volkswagen models, including the ID.7 Tourer, ID.5, ID.4, and ID.3 product lines, starting this fall. The new Passat, Tiguan, Golf, and Golf Estate will also integrate this feature.

The partnership aims to bring a new form of entertainment to people on the road, particularly during charging stops or breaks. The AirConsole platform will transform the vehicle's infotainment screen into a gaming console, while the smartphone will function as the controller. This setup allows passengers to enjoy multiplayer gaming on the go, similar to a home gaming console setup.
