#Android Auto fullscreen apps

Google is leveling up Android Auto with something unexpected: mobile gaming. In the latest Android Auto 14.1 beta, users can now play full Android games directly on their car’s touchscreen — provided the car is parked and the games are installed on your phone. This marks the first time full Android games (not HTML5-based mini-games) are playable through Android Auto, signaling a new direction for in-car entertainment when the vehicle is stationary. Once the car is in park, the games can be launched from the Android Auto interface in fullscreen mode — another first for the platform. This development brings Android Auto closer to Google built-in car systems, which already offer access to a broader library of media and apps — including some games — as part of their native interface. Although Google has supported casual HTML5-based GameSnacks games since 2021, this is the first time full Android apps are supported in a fullscreen experience. It remains unclear whether fullscreen support will expand beyond games in future updates, but it opens the door to potentially more immersive in-car apps when parked. Google hasn’t confirmed a release date for the stable version of Android Auto 14.1 or whether more games will be added to the lineup.
