Asphalt 8: Airborne needs little introduction. This free-to-play racing game has won multiple awards and is Gameloft's most popular title. Put your seat-belt on and get ready to feel the speed.



 

160+ Supercars



 

Asphalt 8: Airborne is a high-octane arcade experience. You can collect over 160 super-powered cars to add to your garage. These range from your starting ride, the Dodge Dart GT, right up to the truly exotic W Motors Fenyr SuperSport.



 



 

Race the world



 

Once you are in your car, it’s time to speed around 40 street circuits across 15 world locations. You can expect to hit the track in Dubai, the Great Wall of China, Barcelona, London, Area 51, and more.



Each track has a distinct look and provides multiple routes to the checkered-flag. All of these are filled with extreme jumps that give you the opportunity to spin and barrel-roll your way to victory. Performing tricks charges your nitro. And you need every drop of boost you can get, because Asphalt 8: Airborne gets difficult.

Seven game modes



 

The challenge doesn’t always come from getting first place. Along with the standard race and time trials, Asphalt 8: Airborne offers plenty of other variety in its events. Elimination sees the back markers blowing up until only the winner remains, Gate Drift has you racing through hoops, Infection wants you to play a high-speed game of hot potato, and in Knockdown your goal is to smash opponents off the road. There are even special events to keep things fresh.



 

Responsive racing controls



 

Asphalt 8: Airborne's responsive tilt controls stop it becoming frustrating, no matter how challenging it gets. The slightest roll of your phone or tablet sees your car immediately react. This makes the game intense, removing any sense of chance as you burn up the track.



Asphalt 8: Airborne isn’t only for petrol-heads. If you aren’t playing it already, then the rapid pace and fantastic look of this arcade racer are sure to appeal. Download it free right now on iOS, Android, and Windows.
