Racing knows no limit!

They say that every mobile gamer has at least one Asphalt game installed on their phone. And that seemed to be backed up as the stalwart handheld gaming series reached a major milestone when Gameloft announced that the Asphalt series had crossed one billion downloads over its entire lifetime across all devices since its debut release in the year 2004. In addition, Gameloft also announced a competition giving a free car to players of Asphalt 8, 9 as well as the Switch version of Asphalt 9. More details regarding the competition are given below.


A major landmark in the history of the Asphalt series

It is no secret that the Asphalt series of games have been highly beloved by the mobile gaming community for many years now, particularly since smartphones gained significant upgrades performance-wise. The series was famous for serving as a wonderful alternative to those that couldn’t afford beefy desktops or consoles to play titles such as Need for Speed or, in the past, Test Drive. The freemium model of the game has also allowed it to reach a wider audience, particularly in developing countries where buying games is considered to be a luxury for many.

While the lion’s share of the market for Asphalt has been on smartphone devices such as iOS and Android, the game has also been released on other platforms such as macOS, Windows, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo DS, and so on. As a matter of fact, Gameloft has announced that Asphalt 9: Legends would be arriving as a free to play title for the Xbox Series X|S consoles as well as the Xbox one console with cross-play support, a move which is certainly expected to expand the game’s already a large audience.
