BMW does not have the same level of gaming computing power. According to publicist Bilal Mahmood in an email to The Verge, AirConsole will initially appear in the 2017 BMW 7-series since it is the automaker’s only existing car capable of handling the games. This seems to imply that certain existing cars equipped with the new curved display, like as the iX XDrive 50, will not get the games through over-the-air update – although it does not rule out the possibility of a hardware refit. According to Mahmood, AirConsole will be included in new BMWs that are released next year with the newest technology.

With larger displays appearing in more vehicles, we may anticipate additional manufacturers to follow Tesla’s lead. With handhelds like the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck easily accessible, smartphone games with high-resolution 3D graphics, and many cloud gaming services to choose from, it’s difficult to see why someone would select a watered-down Smash Bros. clone just because it’s built into their BMW.
