With the official introduction of AirConsole’s interactive gaming platform in a few Audi automobiles, the company and Audi celebrate a new milestone in in-car entertainment.
Everyone in the car can use their smartphones to play entertaining and social games together. As of right now, Audi owners can use their in-car infotainment system to access a wide variety of games, such as Mattel’s PictionaryTM Car Party. The front passenger can play games while the car is moving thanks to Audi’s Active Privacy Mode, a special digital curtain that blocks the driver’s view of the screen to avoid distraction.
BrandSpur entertainment and lifestyle news desk reports that in-car gaming, which was previously restricted to parked situations, is now a smooth aspect of the Audi experience and keeps passengers who aren’t driving entertained the entire time.
According to the CEO of N-Dream, the company that makes AirConsole, Anthony Cliquot: “This is a game-changer for in-car entertainment. With Audi, we’re redefining what’s possible inside a vehicle—bringing gaming into motion and making every journey more social and fun.
“By enabling gameplay on the passenger screen in a way that prioritises safety—by not distracting the driver—we’re taking a bold yet responsible step toward a future where cars are not just modes of transport, but platforms for shared digital experiences,” the CEO added.
It is expedient to know that in all markets where Audi is present, the feature is now accessible in the Audi A5, Q5, A6, A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron model series with Android-based infotainment systems. This launch demonstrates Audi’s dedication to innovative digital technology that improves contemporary mobility.
According to Mattel’s Head of Business Development for Digital Gaming, Erika Winterholler: “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with AirConsole and work with the team at Audi to bring Pictionary Car Party! to Audi’s infotainment systems. This collaboration is a game-changer, letting non-driving passengers join in on fun, interactive play using their smartphones.
“Most importantly, the front passenger can safely control the game without distracting the driver, ensuring that entertainment and safety go hand-in-hand. This is the future of social gaming on the move, making every journey more enjoyable,” Winterholler added.
However, the AirConsole catalogue offers more games in a variety of genres, such as racing, sports, trivia, and party games, in addition to Pictionary Car Party. Among the highlights are Mattel, Inc.’s UNO® Car Party!, Team17’s Overcooked, and Sony Pictures Television’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Audi passengers can anticipate a constantly growing selection of interactive entertainment thanks to regular updates and new content.
The Audi Application Store, which offers apps created especially for in-car use, now offers AirConsole. Users only need to download the AirConsole app via the infotainment system to get started. Passengers can then easily join in the action by using their smartphones as game controllers thanks to AirConsole. Players can instantly connect by scanning a QR code on the car’s screen, turning every ride into an engaging gaming session. Audi now offers a new way to stay entertained, connected, and engaged while driving, whether you’re taking a quick city drive or a lengthy road trip. The game is just beginning, so fasten your seatbelt.
