Play Together While Parked, Non-driving Occupants Continue Playing on the Front Passenger Display While Driving
When the vehicle is parked, all passengers – including the driver – can enjoy multiplayer gaming sessions together via the central infotainment screen. Once the car is in motion, gaming can be enjoyed on the front passenger display for non-driving occupants while the driver remains focused on the road. With Porsche’s integrated screen privacy features, the experience remains safe and distraction-free for the driver.
Launch Details and Market Availability
AirConsole will start to be available at the end of this year with the new Macan. Rollout is planned for all markets where Porsche Connect is available – except for China*.
Smartphones as Game Controllers: No Extra Hardware Required
AirConsole will be accessible via the Porsche App Center which is included on the connectivity package Porsche Connect, depending on market specific availability.
Setup is seamless: once the app is downloaded and opened via the Porsche App Center, passengers connect their smartphones by scanning a QR code – no additional hardware needed. The platform supports both solo and multiplayer gameplay for up to five players, enabling collaborative or competitive sessions across all seats in the vehicle.
