Summary
- Atari teams up with AirConsole to bring Asteroids: Recharged and Breakout: Recharged to select Volkswagen models
- Drivers and passengers use smartphones as controllers for 1–2 player gaming sessions while parked or charging
Drivers of Volkswagen vehicles can now enjoy classic Atari games such as “Asteroids: Recharged” and “Breakout: Recharged” straight from their infotainment displays. This is made possible through a recent collaboration between Atari and the in-car gaming platform AirConsole. The feature will be gradually introduced to certain Volkswagen models, with today marking the beginning of this process. This represents Atari’s inaugural venture into the realm of in-vehicle entertainment.
As an avid gamer, I’ve found two fantastic games tailored for solo or duo play: “Breakout: Recharged” and “Asteroids: Recharged.” These revamped classics infuse modern elements into their legendary predecessors. In Breakout, I get to conquer 50 levels with the help of innovative power-ups like rail guns. Asteroids offers an adrenaline rush with enhanced weaponry, ideal for quick, immersive gaming experiences during car rides or charging stops. To make it even more exciting, passengers can jump into the action using their smartphones as controllers by scanning a QR code displayed on the car’s screen.
The integration forms a key aspect of AirConsole’s initiative to change casual moments into chances for fun and play. With successful partnerships already achieved – such as those with Sony Pictures, Mattel, and Bandai Namco – AirConsole is strengthening its reputation as the preferred choice for in-vehicle gaming.
According to AirConsole’s CEO, Anthony Cliquet, their partnership with Atari represents a significant step towards transforming vehicles into social hubs for enjoyable interactive activities. In the near future, additional games such as “Missile Command: Recharged” are anticipated to be added to their expanding collection.
