Here’s what gaming on Android Auto actually requires
Don't worry if you're not in the beta — you can still get your gaming fix.
- Google’s starting to support games on Android Auto and Automotive.
- Android Auto game support was first spotted late last month, alongside the release of Android Auto 14.1 beta.
- It turns out this beta isn’t needed at all, and you can game on Android Auto 14 stable when using an Android 15 phone.
Cars are a whole lot more than just a way for us to get from point A to point B, and considering how much time some of us spend in them, it shouldn’t be any surprise that in-vehicle entertainment is a major priority. These days, car dashboards are just as connected and hooked in to streaming services as our phones, but there’s long been one entertainment option they lacked: gaming. Google’s recently started a concerted effort to do something about that, and we’re now getting some new details about the arrival of gaming on Android Auto.
In addition to app support expanding on Android Automotive, late last month we started to hear about game compatibility coming to Android Auto, as well. When parked, the system would allow you to play a number of compatible games — indeed, Google labels the collection “Play while parked“.
