Asphalt 8 - Car Racing Game: Racing Title

Asphalt 8 - Car Racing Game is a racing title by Gameloft SE that puts players behind the wheel of high-performance cars and motorcycles. It is part of the Asphalt franchise and has been available since August 2013, with the current release carrying version number 9.1.0i and dated October 13, 2026.

The garage is built around more than 300 licensed cars and motorbikes from makers such as Lamborghini, Bugatti and Porsche, and races take place across 75 or more tracks. Locations range from the Nevada Desert to the streets of Tokyo, and the action leans on drifting, ramps, barrel rolls and 360-degree jumps rather than pure line-following.

Beyond the track, you can style a racer avatar with clothes and accessories, tune your vehicle, and take part in seasons, live events, limited-time Cups and Racing Passes. Multiplayer modes such as the World Series sit alongside single-player racing, and the game runs on Android 7.0 and above.

On the privacy side the permission list is short: the app asks only for Wi-Fi connection information. That does not mean there is no data handling to think about, because the game is free to download, shows advertisements, and offers in-app purchases of virtual items. It is rated Everyone 10+ and has drawn roughly 12 million ratings averaging 4.58, with more than 500 million installs recorded.

Latest changes · 9.1.0i

The latest update for Asphalt 8 brings new vehicles, events, and customization options. It adds S-Class cars such as the Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven, Tushek Aeon E, and Apollo EVO XIII Anniversary Edition. Players can also find the Chrome Marauder, a One-Price Picks shop, class icons, and decal storage. A new Nemesis XIII avatar is available, and rewards can be earned in Cake Hunt, Car Hunts, Treasure Rush, and Racing Passes.

It suits players who enjoy arcade-style racing with stunts and drifting, want a large garage of licensed cars and bikes, and are comfortable with a free game that carries ads and optional in-app purchases. Those who prefer minimal data collection may appreciate the single listed permission, but anyone wary of ads or virtual-item spending should weigh that first.

Review the permission request during installation and grant only what you are comfortable with. Because the game is free and ad-supported, expect promotional content alongside races, and treat in-app purchases as optional extras rather than requirements. Keep an eye on storage before installing, since the file size is not stated on this page.

Asphalt 8 - Car Racing Game pairs a huge licensed vehicle roster and dozens of tracks with stunt-heavy arcade racing, and its permission list is notably short. Just go in knowing that ads and in-app purchases are part of the package, and that Android 7.0 or later is required.
