BMW has taken to CES to reveal a slate of planned upgrades for its entertainment experiences in its cars. On top of promising more games and apps becoming available in its vehicles, BMW has promised that soon users will be able to play games using an actual video game controller. There is no exact date stated as to when this feature will be rolled out, but we do know that it will work via Bluetooth and that it will arrive sometime in 2024.
To add to this, BMW promises that support is coming to allow users to watch video content on the central display in its latest BMW 7 Series vehicles. This means that soon you will be able to watch TiVo and other movies and TV series without needing to sit in the rear of the car. BMW does also affirm that support for further video streaming platforms is in development.
BMW also used its CES appearance to show off how AR glasses can and will be used to "enrich the driving experience in future." This will include providing navigation instructions, hazard warnings, entertainment content, information on charging stations, and helping with parking situations. This is on top of presenting and showing off its voice assistant, LLM, which is soon set to get a full rollout.
