You’ll soon be able to play games in a BMW car using your phone.
BMW Group has partnered with AirConsole to offer casual gaming in its vehicles in 2023.
The games are run directly on the vehicle entertainment system on its curved display and are controlled using smartphones connected by scanning a QR code.
AirConsole has a library of over 180 casual games and connects to PCs as well as Android, Google and Amazon Fire TVs.
Presumably games won’t be playable while vehicles are in motion.
“With AirConsole we will leverage innovative technologies combined with a broad variety of fun and multiplayer games. This will make every waiting situation inside the vehicle, such as charging, an enjoyable moment,” said Stephan Durach – senior vice president BMW Group Connected Company Development.
