Ford is taking in-car entertainment to a whole new level with the introduction of the exclusive Arcade Sports Collection app, available on vehicles equipped with the innovative Ford Digital Experience software. This exciting addition transforms those everyday waiting moments in your car into fun-filled retro gaming sessions that appeal to multiple generations. Building on the success of the Ford Digital Experience, recognized with prestigious awards, this new app showcases the platform’s versatility and commitment to enhancing the user experience in unique and engaging ways.
The Arcade Sports Collection was specifically designed to offer a more entertaining alternative to passively scrolling through phones while waiting in your vehicle. Recognizing that drivers and passengers often spend several minutes parked and idle, Ford developed this app to provide a fun and interactive way to pass the time. Launching with the classic-inspired games Shuffleboard and Button Soccer, the Arcade Sports Collection allows occupants to use their smartphones as controllers, creating a shared and engaging experience for everyone in the vehicle.
Ford’s research highlights the broad appeal of these retro-style games, particularly among Millennial and Gen X parents as well as Baby Boomer grandparents. This makes the Arcade Sports Collection a unique tool for connecting with family members, offering a nostalgic and easy-to-learn form of entertainment that bridges generational gaps. The planned expansion of the game library over the next year promises even more retro fun to look forward to, ensuring a continuous stream of engaging in-car entertainment options exclusive to Ford and Lincoln Digital Experience users right here in New Westminster and beyond.
Beyond the exclusive Arcade Sports Collection, Ford Digital Experience also provides access to a growing selection of games available through Google Play, playable directly on the vehicle’s touchscreen. Titles like the popular racing game Asphalt Nitro 2 are readily downloadable, and for an even more immersive gaming experience, users can connect their own Bluetooth-enabled gaming controllers. This comprehensive approach to in-car entertainment ensures that Ford drivers and passengers have a wide array of options to make every moment spent in their vehicle more enjoyable and engaging.
