Porsche to Integrate AirConsole Gaming in New Macan Later This Year

Porsche’s new Macan adopts AirConsole’s QR-linked phone controllers on Android Automotive, reflecting a broader shift to passenger-safe in-car gaming.

Overview

  • AirConsole will launch on the Macan through the Porsche App Center in all Porsche Connect regions except China, with rollout slated for later in 2025.
  • Players connect by scanning a QR code on the infotainment display and use their smartphones as controllers, with support for up to five participants.
  • Full multiplayer is available on the central screen when parked, then access shifts to the front passenger display once the vehicle is moving to limit driver distraction.
  • The integration runs on Android Automotive OS, adding a curated catalog of casual, short-session titles optimized for in-car use.
  • AirConsole already powers gaming in models from BMW, Audi and VW, reports roughly 2 million users, and has secured strategic investment from KPIT Technologies.
