Google recently released the Android Auto 14.1 update that adds support for games. These games are only functional when the car is parked, and you do not need extra installation. You only need to have them on your device. The list of Android Auto-supported games has been growing since the release.
Before the release of Android 14.1, there were many reports about the arrival of game support to Android Auto. While the support is now available, only beta users can test the feature. However, you can side-load the ApK app, which automatically grants access to play supported games.
Android Auto-supported games do not require extra downloads. The games that appear on your vehicle’s built-in display would come directly from the paired phone. Any compatible title would appear without a download. As you would expect, these games become active when the car is in the park.
Android Auto-supported Games

As car manufacturers make the screen bigger, Google is finding ways to make the experience better for users. With the introduction of gaming support, users can kill time playing games on their vehicle’s display.
Unfortunately, the number of support games is small, considering support only arrived. Also, developers need to optimize some of these games before they can work on a car’s display. Nevertheless, there are a few you can play while waiting for more availability.
- Farm Heroes Saga
- Candy Crush Soda Saga
- Angry Birds 2
- Beach Buggy Racing
How to play games on Android Auto


There is no particular way to open or play games on Android Auto. All supported games will appear on your Android Auto display if they are installed on your device. You can simply open them and start playing, just like you would open any other app that appears on the screen.
Nevertheless, support is limited to beta testers running Android Auto 14.1. If you can’t see this feature, it simply means you have not got the latest build. You can wait for the stable build, which should start rolling out in the coming days, or download the APK file. If you side-load the app, there is a possibility the feature will not work at all.
Another thing to note is that these games open in full screen, and hence, you need to swipe from the screen edges to show the exit button. Hopefully, the beta preview will go as planned so stable users will receive the update with the next release.
How to get Games on Android Auto
To get games on Android Auto, you should install the v14.1, currently in the beta phase. Supported games will show on your vehicle display when connected. Just open the game and start playing. You don’t need any extra downloads once you install the latest Android Auto beta build.
