Porsche Brings AirConsole Multiplayer Gaming to New Macan Later This Year

The rollout via Porsche Connect excludes China, with a preview at IAA Munich on September 10.

Overview

  • Passengers will access AirConsole through the Porsche App Centre, pairing smartphones as controllers via QR code with support for up to five players and no extra hardware required.
  • Gameplay appears on the central display when parked, then shifts to the front passenger screen once the vehicle is moving, with privacy measures to reduce driver distraction.
  • Availability is planned for all Porsche Connect regions except China, with the feature set to launch alongside the new Macan later in 2025.
  • The initial catalog emphasizes short-session titles and includes licensed games such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Overcooked, and UNO Car Party!.
  • AirConsole cites existing deployments with BMW, Audi, and VW and estimates roughly 2 million car owners can access its system today, with further expansion anticipated.
