Volkswagen (VW) is expanding its gaming offering in selected models. The Pac-Man Championship Edition is now available in the optional AirConsole In-Car App for playing on the infotainment display in a parked vehicle. A smartphone serves as the controller.

VW is the first automotive manufacturer to combine the new game with the vehicle’s background lighting and, for compatible ID models, also with ID Light as an option. This means that an even more immersive gaming experience is created specifically by the interior lighting responding to the game content and inputs by the players.

The Pac-Man Championship Edition retains the well-known and popular game principle from the 1980s: Pac-Man eats dots in a labyrinth while trying to avoid being caught by ghosts. Once all the dots have been eaten, the next level begins. The icons for bonus points and power pellets have been redesigned. More points are awarded for touching silhouettes of the iconic VW Beetle, VW Bus and Golf IV R32, brands such as GTI, GTX or R and VW wheel rims. Anyone who wants to fight the Ghost Gang should look for power pellets in the form of the VW brand logo.
