Luxury automotive technology takes an exciting turn as Audi introduces interactive gaming capabilities directly into select vehicles.

Transforming Your Smartphone Into a Gaming Controller

The AirConsole platform seamlessly integrates with Audi's MMI infotainment system, creating an interactive playground for passengers. By simply scanning a QR code displayed on the MMI screen, passengers can connect their smartphones to the vehicle and use them as wireless controllers. The system supports both the central MMI touch display and the MMI passenger display in equipped models, ensuring an optimal gaming experience regardless of seating position.

This technology works through the Audi Application Store, which requires an active Audi connect PLUS subscription and compatible mobile device connectivity. Each game features uniquely optimized controller layouts designed specifically for mobile devices, making gameplay intuitive and responsive. The Dynamic Privacy mode with shutter technology ensures that distracting content remains hidden from the driver while the vehicle is in motion, prioritizing safety without compromising passenger entertainment.

AirConsole offers an impressive portfolio of games spanning multiple genres and age groups. Classic favorites like Mattel's UNO® Car Party and Sony Pictures Entertainment's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire provide familiar entertainment options, while titles like Overcooked and GoKart Go! offer more contemporary gaming experiences. The platform regularly expands its offerings, ensuring fresh content for regular users.

A notable exclusive addition is Pictionary™ Car Party, developed specifically for Audi passengers in celebration of the drawing game's 40th anniversary. This exclusive title remains available only to properly equipped Audi vehicles through the end of 2025. Other popular games include Trivia Crack, Burnin' Rubber, Snowboard Buddies, and The Neighborhood, providing variety for solo players and groups alike.

Seamless Integration with Modern Digital Life

This gaming integration exemplifies Audi's commitment to intelligently weaving advanced technology into everyday driving experiences. Whether during extended road trips, charging stops for e-tron vehicles, or brief waiting periods during school pickups, the gaming platform provides entertainment options that enhance the overall vehicle experience. The system operates through the vehicle's Wi-Fi connectivity, which is part of the Audi connect PLUS package, ensuring reliable performance without draining mobile data allowances.

The AirConsole platform is currently available in select Audi models built on PPC and PPE architecture platforms. This includes the all-new 2025 Audi A5, Q5, A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron model families. These vehicles represent Audi's latest technological advancements and provide the necessary hardware infrastructure to support the gaming platform's requirements.
