When gaming meets accessibility, you get AirConsole.com — a platform that has been quietly reshaping the way we play with friends and family. Offering a vast collection of free multiplayer games without the need for consoles or controllers, AirConsole has grown from a niche idea to a global entertainment hub.
A Digital Console for Everyone
AirConsole officially went live on September 4, 2015, giving players around the world a new way to connect and play. Created by Andrin von Rechenberg, a former Google tech lead and ETH Zurich alumnus, the platform is run by N-Dream AG, a Swiss-based company.
Von Rechenberg’s vision was simple yet revolutionary: transform everyday smartphones into game controllers while turning any screen — be it a laptop, PC, smart TV, or even an in-car display — into a console.
Where Can You Play?
The platform is available worldwide through any modern web browser at airconsole.com, supporting over 180 countries. With no hardware to buy, it’s as easy as scanning a QR code with your phone to jump into the action.
Smart TVs & PCs: Compatible with Android TV and browsers across desktops and laptops.
Mobile Integration: Any smartphone becomes the controller — no additional downloads required for basic play.
Automotive Expansion: AirConsole has also made its way into select BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen vehicles in Europe, allowing passengers to game on the road using the infotainment system.
Why AirConsole Stands Out
Free and Easy: No expensive consoles or specialized gear.
Massive Game Library: Hundreds of casual and party games ranging from trivia and drawing games to racing and strategy titles.
Party-Friendly: Many games support multiple players, making it perfect for social gatherings.
Global Reach: By 2019, it had already logged over a million hours of gameplay annually, with usage continuing to grow.
AirConsole is experiencing a fresh wave of popularity thanks to the rise of high-tech smartphones and smart TVs. With today’s devices offering faster processors, sharper displays, and smoother connectivity, AirConsole delivers a far more seamless experience than when it first launched. The convenience of simply using a phone as a controller, combined with better screen quality and low-latency performance, makes it an attractive alternative to traditional consoles, especially for households seeking casual entertainment without extra costs.
What started as an experiment in 2015 has become a community-driven platform bridging casual and social gaming, proving that you don’t need a PlayStation or Xbox to have fun with friends.
