BMW 5 Series debuts with multiplayer gaming via AirConsole

A lot is new with the new BMW 5 Series, but the highlight feature title resides with the ability to play games via the Air Console app. Courtesy of a partnership formed between the BMW Group and gaming platform AirConsole allows the driver and passengers to play so-called casual games while the new 5 Series is stationary. After synchronising it with the vehicle via the AirConsole app, the user’s smartphone acts as a controller. The AirConsole app supports multiple players simultaneously, so involving all vehicle occupants in competition mode in the same game is possible. Limited titles, including Go Kart Go, Golazo, Music Guess and Overcooked, are available to play from the start, with portfolio expansion slated in the future. This AirConsole app with gaming capabilities will be successively offered in other mid-range and luxury BMW vehicles in the forthcoming years.
