Skoda Enyaq and Elroq Get New Spotify, Video and Gaming Apps

Skoda has introduced new infotainment apps for Enyaq and Elroq EVs, adding Spotify, Skoda Play video and AirConsole gaming. Learn what’s included.

Skoda’s electric lineup has received a notable digital upgrade. The Enyaq and Elroq models equipped with infotainment software version ME4 (SW4) or higher — meaning vehicles produced from late 2024 onwards — now support an expanded range of onboard entertainment, covering audio, video and gaming.

The most interactive addition is the integration of the AirConsole gaming platform. Since January 2026, owners can launch games directly on the vehicle’s central display, while a smartphone serves as the controller. Connection is handled via a QR code, with no cables or extra hardware required. Around 15 titles were available at launch, including casual, puzzle, racing and sports-themed games. For the Skoda brand, an exclusive version of Tetris is offered.

The gaming function operates only when the vehicle is parked — a standard industry practice designed to comply with safety requirements and prevent driver distraction. Multiple smartphones can be connected simultaneously, enabling multiplayer modes and turning waiting time into a shared activity for passengers.

A key enabler of these new features is the vehicle’s built-in connectivity. The Enyaq and Elroq use an integrated eSIM, forming part of the Skoda Connect ecosystem and providing continuous online access. Through this connection, drivers can use Spotify directly within the infotainment system. Pairing is completed by scanning a QR code and linking an existing account, after which music and podcasts are streamed via an interface optimised for in-car use. Offline listening is also supported.

Video content is delivered through the Skoda Play application, which aggregates material from a range of sources, including news and thematic channels such as CNN, Euronews and NASA. The app does not require a separate user account and, like the gaming platform, functions exclusively when the vehicle is stationary.

The integration of native applications into the infotainment system reflects a broader industry shift. Software-driven features are becoming increasingly central to the electric vehicle experience, with other manufacturers — including BMW, Audi and Tesla — implementing comparable solutions. In Skoda’s case, the rollout tied to ME4/SW4 software versions underlines the growing importance of digital services and over-the-air capabilities in shaping the lifecycle and appeal of modern connected vehicles.
