The cloud gaming app Boosteroid and Mercedes-Benz cooperate for in-car entertainment. From 2025 onward, not only does the Boosteroid app come to Europe, but cars with third-generation MBUX infotainment system will be able to use the app to stream games.
Mercedes-Benz is partnering with Boosteroid for new in-car entertainment systems. The Boosteroid app will be available from 2025 as part of the MBUX Entertainment Package Plus for vehicles equipped with the third-generation MBUX infotainment system. The Boosteroid will also start roll-out in Europe and South America in 2025. Subscribers can stream their games to PC, mobile or smart TVs, and through the download of the app in the in-car app store in MBUX compatible Mercedes-Benz cars as well.
“Together with Boosteroid, we’re offering an even more attractive in-car gaming experience for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The cloud-based approach to gaming is the ideal way to bring triple-A gaming to our customers and gaming fans alike. It’s a clear proof point of how we’re further developing MBUX to cater to our customers’ expectations. That’s why we’re excited to be here at gamescom, joining our long-time esports partner, SK Gaming, who are one of the best-known names in competitive gaming,” says Magnus Östberg, Chief Software Officer, Mercedes-Benz AG.
