What AirConsole is
AirConsole is an online multiplayer game console that puts games on a shared screen and uses smartphones as controllers. Players join by entering a session code shown on the screen, and they do not need to share a Wi-Fi network. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with support for computers and browsers, tablets, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and compatible vehicle displays. Desktop browser support includes Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. AirConsole's homepage lists over 150 multiplayer games. The free version is limited and may include prompts to wait or subscribe; the maker says it does not show third-party ads. Hero adds unlimited players, no ad breaks, all games unlocked on PC, unique in-game content, and early access to games. One Hero subscriber removes ad breaks for everyone in a session. AirConsole is a product of Zurich-based N-Dream AG, founded in 2015, and says it partners with BMW, Mini, and Volkswagen on car infotainment integrations.
