AirConsole x Audi marks a new chapter in in-car entertainment with the launch of interactive gaming in selected Audi vehicles. For the first time, AirConsole enables passengers to play games while the car is in motion, supported by Audi’s 'Active Privacy Mode,' a digital screen shield that keeps the driver distraction-free while the front passenger enjoys gameplay.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, AirConsole is introducing 'Pictionary™ Car Party,' a special edition of Mattel’s classic game tailored for up to four in-car players. Using their smartphones as controllers, passengers can enjoy casual, social games directly through the car’s infotainment system.
This collaboration reflects a growing trend in digital mobility, where vehicles become more than just transport—they become platforms for shared digital experiences. With AirConsole x Audi, the journey becomes part of the fun, offering an engaging, tech-forward way to keep passengers entertained on the road.
