Android Auto has successfully entered into the stable 14.0 version; meanwhile, Google has already started rolling out the latest Android Auto 14.1 update for the users, which is running in its beta channel.
Google rolling out Android Auto 14.1 Beta Version
Google’s Android Auto is a smart driving companion that mirrors the user’s Android device into the car’s infotainment system and has just started receiving a new 14.1 beta update, while surprisingly, the latest version apparently adds support for a few Android games, thanks to the reports presented by 9To5Google.
Specifically, on the latest Android Auto 14.1 beta version, it was discovered (via a video) that a few Android games have been displayed on the car’s dashboard. This list of games specifically mentioned Beach Buggy Racing, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Angry Birds 2, and Farm Heroes Saga.
However, the key highlight here is that the games will only be available when the car is parked. Once the car starts moving, all the gaming apps will be greyed out, and the currently played game will get automatically closed. Alternatively, the update further introduces a new system that basically shifts the apps of Android Auto to be viewed in full-screen, while in order to exit the full-screen UI, users need to perform a swipe gesture from the top of the screen to see the Exit button.
While there is no detail regarding the Android game support’s availability for the stable Android Auto 14.1 build. In any case, if this Android gaming support extends to the platform, it could prove to be more entertaining for the users. Also, since Google has just released the stable Android Auto 14 version, the company might take a while to launch the stable Android Auto 14.1 build, as it’s currently in its beta channel.
