Playing on your car’s screen will soon be possible in certain BMWs.
BMW has just announced the arrival of arcade games in some of its models starting in 2023. To deploy this new feature, the manufacturer will rely on AirConsole, an online video game platform.
“We are extremely proud to be pioneering in-car gaming with BMW and we look forward to creating new games for onboard entertainment,” said the CEO of N-Dream, the company behind AirConsole. “Our clever architecture combined with the ease of access of our platform will change the way people are entertained in their cars.”
Arcade games will be available on models equipped with the curved infotainment screen. They will therefore be accessible on most BMW electric vehicles.
No controller needed, a smartphone is enough
The user’s smartphone will serve as the game controller. To connect it to the car, the user will be able to scan a QR code displayed on the infotainment screen.
BMW has not detailed the list of games that will be available in its cars. A quick visit to AirConsole’s website will give you a first idea of what might be offered.
Integrating video games into a vehicle is not a novelty in itself. For example, Tesla has offered this feature for several years now. In another context, the Honda e has an HDMI input and a 230-volt socket, allowing to connect a console and play on the car’s screen.
