Volkswagen has recently updated the software in all ID. cars, which now offers even more entertainment for passengers. They will now be able to enjoy playing one of the most famous maze video games in the world, Pac-Man.
Initially, Pac-Man will be available for all models that integrate the ID Software 4.0 operating system and all those that will be produced this year, which is approximately 300,000 Volkswagen cars in Europe. Passengers will be able to play the game via AirConsole and instead of Pac-Dots, Pac-Man will eat the Volkswagen logo and silhouettes of some VW cars. To complete the gaming experience, there is also the ID Light ambient lighting system that will react to what is happening in the game using a dynamic lighting system. It is important to note that the Pac-Man Championship Edition game will only be available when the car is parked and the engine is off.
The AirConsole app is available in the car’s online multimedia system store, for users who have subscribed to VW Connect Plus.
The Pac-Man game was created by Toru Iwatani at the end of 1980, and since then it has become one of the greatest video games of all time. Also, it is one of the highest-grossing and best-selling games (48 million copies), generating more than $14 billion in revenue.
