AirConsole, the in-car gaming platform, is partnering with Atari, the legendary video game publisher. Effective immediately, Asteroids: Recharged and Breakout: Recharged are playable for the first time in cars through the infotainment system in supported Volkswagen.

“Atari laid the foundation for generations of gamers,” said Anthony Cliquot, CEO of N-Dream. “To welcome these timeless titles onto AirConsole shows that our vision for in-car play is being embraced by the world’s most trusted entertainment brands”

“We are excited for Volkswagen drivers and their passengers to discover these modern versions of our classic titles,” added Ethan Stearns, VP of Games at Atari. “The AirConsole team has done a phenomenal job optimizing the in-ar controls and has produced an amazing playing experience.”

Originally developed and released by Atari as part of its Recharged series, Breakout: Recharged and Asteroids: Recharged are now being introduced into the in-car environment through AirConsole. The two games support 1–2 players, making them well-suited for cooperative or solo play inside the car.

Volkswagen drivers can start playing instantly once they have an active VW Connect Plus contract and an active internet connection on the smartphone.

Missile Command: Recharged will also be joining the AirConsole library at a later date.
