Coming to Xbox
In addition, Gameloft is thrilled to announce that Asphalt 9: Legends will soon be launching, free-to-play, on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One Consoles; the game will feature cross-play and cross-save support for players on Windows 10. Additional details will be announced soon.
Andrew:
Personally, I can’t wait to dig into this game. Most of the time, Free-to-Play games at most times are totally worth checking out, plus if the game includes achievements I like working on getting the game complete.
Thomas Aurick, VP of Creation at Gameloft, had this to say:
“For over 20 years, Gameloft has been on the forefront of what players could experience on mobile devices, and just over 15 years ago we kicked off a franchise that has remained a core series to us, Asphalt. In the years since, we transformed Asphalt into the most readily-accessible racing franchise in the world. This is only just the beginning for Asphalt, and with the impending launch of Asphalt 9: Legends on the Xbox platform, we further commit to bring anyone, on whatever gaming platform a racing experience beyond imagination. This is the Gameloft of today.”
Limited Events
Additionally, 8 & 9 will feature dedicated time-limited events, starting April 26th, celebrating this impressive milestone. Players will be able to stack up amazing rewards and prizes! These unlocks can be shown off on the race track.
