AirConsole Is Coming to Volkswagen Cars

Volkswagen and n-Dream are bringing the in-car gaming platform AirConsole to selected VW vehicles. The first models in Europe will be receiving the AirConsole from mid-September.

Volkswagen AG is partnering with the AirConsole gaming platform by n-Dream to bring the in-car gaming experience to its drivers and passengers. Parallel to the product lines ID.7, ID.5, ID.4 and ID.3 (from ID.software 4.0), AirConsole will also be available for the new Passat, the new Tiguan, the new Golf and the new Golf Estate.

The gaming platform will provide entertainment to people on the road, for example while charging or during a break. The games are available on the infotainment display, with smartphones acting as controllers. In general, it is possible to play alone or with all passengers together. Vehicles must be in park to enable gameplay.

Volkswagen plans to launch the AirConsole in the first European countries from mid-September. By the turn of the year 2024/2025, the range will be expanded to include several more games for even more European countries.

At gamescom, it was also announced that the classic card game Uno is now available on AirConsole in BMW and Mini vehicles - in collaboration with Mattel. The game has been rolled out to over 500,000 BMW and Mini vehicles via the AirConsole platform.
