Android Auto has begun adding games that users can play while the car is parked, and they don’t even need to be installed on anything more than your phone. Here’s a list of every game available on Android Auto, and a little about how it works.
Games are not a new concept for Android Auto, and they’ve existed in a limited form factor via GameSnacks. The GameSnacks app was something users could download to Android Auto in their vehicle. You can think of it like one of those off-brand retro gaming consoles one could buy at a department store — it includes tons of games that are good for a quick fix but nothing incredibly popular and in-depth.

Google recently announced that another option would be available for Android Auto users, and it doesn’t require extra downloads. According to the company, the games that appear on your in-vehicle display would come directly from the paired phone, and any compatible title would appear without a download. This is only an option when the car is in park, for very obvious reasons.
As displays get bigger in cars with Android Auto, the feature will likely be a nice addition, especially if you need to kill some time.
What games can I play on Android Auto?
The list, for the time being, is slim. Google announced the feature in March 2025, and the list is set to keep growing as developers add compatibility. Since the game needs to be playable from the device and the in-vehicle display, work needs to be done to the app in some capacity.
Below is a list of the current games that can be played when an Android device is connected to Android Auto…
- Farm Heroes Saga
- Candy Crush Soda Saga
- Angry Birds 2
- Beach Buggy Racing
How to open games in Android Auto
As mentioned, these games will simply appear on the Android Auto display if they’re installed on the user’s phone. From there, it’s as easy as opening them up and playing. The functionality is currently in beta, and it may not work all the time. Downloading the latest Android Auto 14.1 update will open up the feature, and in our experience, games immediately became available on the in-vehicle display.
When in a title, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t run entirely smoothly. With beta, these games don’t seem too optimized yet. These games will also open in full screen, which requires a swipe from one of the screen edges to showcase an “exit” button.
Even in beta, this is a fun addition that should only get better over time.
