Turn Android Phones into Game Controllers
AirConsole uses an Android phone as a gamepad while the action appears on a larger shared screen. After opening a session on the PC, TV, tablet, or car display, players enter the connection code on their phones and receive touch controls designed for the selected game. The arrangement removes the need to find matching physical controllers before a group can start.
Each participant can join with a personal phone, so local multiplayer scales more naturally for families and groups of friends. Game-specific buttons, steering areas, and movement pads stay on individual screens while everyone follows the central game view. The result feels closer to a party console than ordinary phone mirroring and keeps every player directly involved.
Connect to PC, TV, or Car Screens
The connection flow begins by choosing where the game will run: PC, TV, or a compatible car infotainment screen. A browser or AirConsole big-screen app displays a session code, and the phone joins as a controller after that code is entered. This separates the shared view from the personal controls and keeps setup understandable for first-time players.
PC and living-room TV options suit home parties, family sessions, and office breaks, while supported vehicle integrations are intended for passengers or parked moments such as charging stops. The Android app includes a dedicated car connection path and lists supported brands, making it easier to determine whether an available display can host the session before choosing a game.
Choose Party Games and Shared Sessions
AirConsole centers on short, social games that can be shared on one big screen. Its catalog covers party, racing, sports, trivia, arcade, strategy, and cooperative formats, so groups can move between quick competitive rounds and games that reward teamwork. The phone-controller approach makes the library accessible without assigning a physical gamepad to every player.
A rotating Starter Pack provides a limited way to begin, while the wider catalog gives groups more choices for repeated sessions. Player limits and game availability vary by title and display platform, so the session host should check the selected game before inviting everyone. This mix fits birthdays, family gatherings, school breaks, and team events where fast setup matters more than owning a traditional console.
Manage Players, Profiles, and AirConsole Hero
Once connected, the Android app provides session controls for returning to the game, adding players, opening a profile, getting help, or leaving the session. A player profile can hold a nickname and picture, while event entries offer another route into scheduled or promoted AirConsole activities. These controls keep common group-management actions close to the controller instead of moving them onto the shared display.
AirConsole Hero is the premium layer for groups that want the complete catalog and fewer interruptions. One Hero member can unlock session benefits for everyone playing together, including all games, removal of ad breaks, selected in-game content, and early access. Casual groups can start smaller, then decide whether the broader session benefits match how often they play.
