When you think of BMW, you might picture sheer driving pleasure, precise engineering, or cutting-edge innovation. But there’s another layer of intelligence inside today’s BMW models, one that adds a playful twist to the driving experience.
Introducing AirConsole, the in-car gaming platform available through BMW ConnectedDrive. Whether you’re charging your car, waiting to pick someone up, or just taking a break, AirConsole transforms your BMW into a digital arcade that makes even the quietest moments enjoyable.
AirConsole is an in-car gaming app integrated into the BMW Curved Display and part of the BMW Digital Premium offering. It’s designed for quick, casual fun, accessible, intuitive, and fully integrated into your BMW’s infotainment system. The best part? Your smartphone becomes the controller. No cables, downloads, or extra devices. Simply scan the on-screen QR code using your phone and you’re ready to go.
Whether you're playing solo or with passengers, AirConsole offers a smooth and seamless gaming experience for those moments in between.
AirConsole includes a curated selection of over 15 games, with more being added regularly. Here's some fan favourites:
Because AirConsole is cloud-based, new titles can be added without needing updates or downloads, meaning the collection will continue to grow over time.
We all have those moments in the car that aren't about driving. You're waiting for your car to charge. You're early to an appointment. You're collecting someone and they’re running late. It’s in these moments that AirConsole comes into its own.
Because the feature is only accessible when the vehicle is stationary, it’s built around safety and downtime. It’s not about distraction; it's adding a bit of light-hearted entertainment to your day.
For EV drivers, especially, charging stops become more enjoyable. You’re no longer counting down the minutes to a full battery, you're getting competitive in a quiz game, playing racing games with the kids, or working as a team in a virtual kitchen.
One of the best things about AirConsole is how easy it is to play with others. Once someone scans the QR code and joins the game, additional players can do the same using their phones, each becoming a controller. Whether you're with friends, kids, or even colleagues on a test drive, it’s a fun, simple way to bring people together.
The games are designed to be accessible for everyone, no complex controls or long tutorials. It’s quick to pick up, easy to enjoy, and genuinely fun no matter your age or gaming ability.
Getting started with AirConsole is refreshingly simple:
No account needed. No app to install. It’s as close to instant fun as you can get in a car.
AirConsole games and entertainment streaming features are only available when the vehicle is parked and stationary.
AirConsole is available with BMW Digital Premium on a range of new BMW models that feature BMW Operating System 8.5 or 9 with the BMW Curved Display.
If you're unsure whether your current BMW is compatible, your local Sandal BMW Retailer or the My BMW App can help confirm availability and assist with activation.

To access AirConsole, your BMW needs to be equipped with BMW Digital Premium. This is BMW’s all-inclusive digital package, offering a full suite of apps, services, and data, including video streaming, enhanced navigation, music apps, and more.
With Digital Premium, your vehicle’s SIM includes the necessary data allowance, so you can enjoy games and other apps without needing to connect your phone or use mobile data. It also means you get access to regular over-the-air updates, ensuring your entertainment offering continues to evolve long after you drive away.
You can activate Digital Premium as an add-on to your ConnectedDrive services via the BMW ConnectedDrive Store, the My BMW App, or through your BMW centre. Flexible options are available, including monthly subscriptions and annual packages, and many new BMWs come with a 3-month free trial so you can explore the full experience.
