P3 digital services has announced that trailblazing games producer Famobi has devised an app enabling offline gaming for users of the Sparq OS automotive infotainment platform.
Developed exclusively for Sparq OS, the Gamebow app offers users access to a large collection of Android Automotive games. After an initial download, the games are fully playable offline on a vehicle’s infotainment screens.
The new offline functionality means that a car’s passengers can enjoy playing Famobi’s wide selection of games in a smooth user experience as network connection is not required. This new development follows Famobi’s debut on Sparq OS in 2023, becoming the first third-party games provider on the increasingly popular Sparq IVI platform, powered by Android Automotive OS.
Sparq OS is the dynamic and developing IVI solution developed by P3 based on Android Automotive OS, the fastest growing in-vehicle operating system in the world today, according to the brand. Sparq’s cockpit platform includes an app store, navigation, digital and personal voice assistant, charging, media and entertainment. It also features fully automated OTA software and firmware updates.
Famobi creates premium HTML5 cross-platform games that are fully responsive, text-free and available in 3D. Its portfolio includes popular titles such as Cut The Rope, Words of Wonders and Thief Puzzle.
“We’re excited that users can now enjoy Famobi games offline as well as when connected, so that for passengers, especially children, the fun can last the whole journey,” said Ilker Aydin, CEO & founder of Famobi. “We’re really proud of our partnership with P3, the go-to Android Automotive specialists, and thrilled that Gamebow can entertain Sparq OS users at any time.”
