Android Auto has introduced the option to play popular mobile games directly on your car's screen when parked, providing drivers with new entertainment options during waits. This feature requires Android Auto version 14.1 or above and an Android phone running version 15 or higher.
Available Games and Requirements
Several well-loved games are now compatible with Android Auto, including Angry Birds 2, Beach Buggy Racing, Candy Crush Saga, and Farm Heroes Saga. These games appear automatically on your car display once installed on your phone, and they can only be played when the vehicle is stationary.
- Angry Birds 2: A physics-based puzzle game with multi-stage levels and unique bird powers.
- Beach Buggy Racing Series: A 3D kart racer offering power-ups and customizable races.
- Candy Crush Saga: A match-3 puzzle game with colorful candies and thousands of levels.
- Farm Heroes Saga: A farming-themed puzzle game with strategic elements and seasonal events.
Smart Entertainment Features
Transforming Android Auto from a navigation tool into an entertainment hub, these games are designed to entertain drivers while parked without resorting to passive scrolling on social media. Handling is smooth for visual titles like Angry Birds 2, although racing games benefit from a physical controller for better navigation.
However, graphics-heavy apps can cause the phone to heat and throttle. Users are advised to ensure their devices are well-ventilated when charging during gameplay.
