Volkswagen plays the nostalgia card by offering the legendary PAC-MAN game directly on the infotainment screen of its vehicles.
Now, more than 300,000 models of the brand in Europe, including the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, and ID.7, allow you to play PAC-MAN during stops. With the AirConsole app integrated into the onboard system, your smartphone becomes a controller. Additionally, Volkswagen innovates with dynamic ambient lighting that reacts in real time to gameplay, thanks to the ID. Light on certain compatible models. The result? A unique immersion, where each interaction is amplified by the vehicle’s luminous environment.
PAC-MAN Championship Edition keeps the winning formula of the 1980s: scoring points by eating pellets in a maze while avoiding ghosts. But here, the universe modernizes with iconic Volkswagen elements: fruits become rims, and silhouettes of legendary vehicles, such as the Beetle or the Golf IV R32, offer bonus points. As for the “power pellets”, they take the form of the famous VW logo, allowing players to defeat the ghosts.
Who doesn’t love PAC-MAN?
The AirConsole app, the first gaming platform specifically designed for cars, targets a diverse audience of casual gamers. With a game library suitable for all generations, this initiative aims to turn waiting into a social and fun moment.
To enjoy this experience, you need a Volkswagen ID user account, an active VW Connect Plus contract, and an internet connection via smartphone. The AirConsole app is downloadable from the In-Car app store. So, necessarily, integrating a relatively simple game like PAC-MAN into an ultra-advanced infotainment system is not an achievement in any way. But it’s one more step toward more entertaining connected mobility!
