#play games in car

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. To use the feature, players must download the games on their phones first. 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. 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. As more cars adopt larger displays and better in-car connectivity, infotainment systems like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are expected to evolve beyond maps and music — and this beta might be the first sign of a more app-rich ecosystem ahead. Valve has announced that Steam users in the United Kingdom will now need to link a credit card to their account if they want to access games or pages marked with “mature content.” This move is part of Valve’s compliance with the UK’s Online Safety Act, which enforces stricter age verification for online platforms.
