Asphalt has hit 1 billion downloads across multiple consoles. After this milestone, Gameloft is bringing this game to Xbox One and Xbox Series. It will support cross-play and cross-save on Xbox and Windows. Limited-time events will also start for both Asphalt 8: Airborne and Asphalt 9: Legends.
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,” said Thomas Aurick, VP of Creation at Gameloft. “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.
This franchise began in 2004 with the title Asphalt Urban GT, which was released on Java-based feature phones. The franchise has since released 16 games for Android, iOS, Nintendo handhelds, PlayStation handhelds, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
