Android Auto started adding games that users can play while the car is parked, and they don’t even have to be installed on something other than your phone. Here is a list of each game available on Android Auto, and a little about how it works.
Games are not a new concept for Android Auto, and they have existed in a limited form factor via Gamesnacks. The Gamesnacks application was something that users could download on Android Auto in their vehicle. You can think about it as one of these retro game consoles outside the brand that you could buy in a department store – it includes tons of games that are good for a quick solution but nothing incredibly popular and in -depth.
Google recently announced that another option would be available for Android Auto users, and it does not require additional downloads. According to the company, the games that appear on your integrated vehicle screen would come directly from the paired phone, and any compatible title would appear without download. This is just an option when the car is in the park, for very obvious reasons.
As screens become larger in cars with Android Auto, the feature will probably be a nice addition, especially if you need to kill a little time.
What games can I play on Android Auto?
The list, for the moment, is thin. Google announced the functionality in March 2025, and the list should continue to grow as developers add compatibility. Since the game must be playable from the device and the vehicle display, the work must be done on the application to a certain extent.

How to open games in Android Auto
As mentioned, these games will simply appear on the Android Auto screen if they are installed on the user’s phone. From there, it is as simple as opening and playing them. The functionality is currently in beta version and may not work all the time. Downloading the latest Android Auto 14.1 update will open the functionality and, according to our experience, games are immediately available on vehicle display.
In the event of a title, do not be surprised if it does not work completely gently. With the beta version, these games do not seem too optimized yet. These games will also open in full screen, which requires a blow from one of the edges of the screen to present an “exit” button.
Even in a beta version, it is a fun addition that should only improve over time.
