Racing title RidePods, which utilizes AirPods instead of common controls, landed on the App Store on Sept. 28, 2025.
Described by developer Ali Tanis as motorcycle racing with earbuds, the game is a motorcycle racing sim in which players need to tilt their heads to the left or right to avoid cars.

While the title is playable on iPhones and iPads, it is worth noting that not all AirPods are compatible. Only those with head-tracking functionality, including all AirPods Pro models, as well as AirPods 3 and AirPods 4, will work, as the game refuses to launch without proper earbuds connected.
RidePods allows players to simultaneously record their gameplay while capturing themselves using the selfie camera.
As of the time of writing, the free-to-play title supports only the English language and holds the 78th place in the Racing category on the App Store.
