Asphalt 9: Legends is a free-to-play* arcade racing game by Gameloft for mobile (iOS, Android), PC (Windows) on Microsoft Store / Steam and consoles (Switch, Xbox One, Xbox XS). The game contains both single-player career and multiplayer PVP modes. Take on the world’s most fearless drivers and become the next Asphalt Legend – from the creators of Asphalt 8: Airborne. Asphalt 9: Legends features an extensive roster of real hypercars from renowned manufacturers such as Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and W Motors. Pick your dream ride and race across spectacular locations around the world in solo or PVP modes.
(+) The game is praised for its fun arcade feel, similar to Burnout, its descent solo career mode, its great low-end-computer-friendly graphics and car models, the vast amount of cars and customization options available, and its somewhat addictive gameplay.
(-) What many players don’t like in Asphalt 9: Legends is the energy system which requires them to wait from 10 min up to several hours for each car to be refilled, and its pay to win mechanics that mostly affect PVP.

Free-to-Play Model

*Asphalt 9: Legends is a free to play game where all single-player and multiplayer modes can be enjoyed for free. However, it has some standard mobile pay to win (P2W) mechanics and microtransactions in the form of randomized car card packs (Gacha). The game also has an Energy System whereby each car has a limited amount of gas/playtime which refills over time. By default, players must grind for a chance to obtain more interesting cars, and for a chance to upgrade those cars with relevant cards. Alternatively, players can spend on card packs for a chance to unlock the desired cars and components. While the single player career mode is fun to play and quite F2P friendly, the multiplayer part is geared toward pay to win.
