Lots of fun. Loads of game modes to play. However, one major issue is that the cars are very hard to buy after the C category. A suggestion is to switch the currency for buying cars to credits. ### 4/5 — Very fun game *2026-08-17, version 9.1.0* I like this game lot it is very fun but it just to much ads but it fun! ### 4/5 — Please fix this *2026-08-15, version 9.1.0* I tried doing the multiplayer cup event and I had 40% of gas and the game wouldn’t let me do it because I didn’t have enough gas. It said and it made me have to spend 39 gems just to buy it but I didn’t. ### 1/5 — Vivendi, go suck something *2026-08-14, version 9.1.0* Cash grab. Can’t progress past a few cars. ### 1/5 — wont load from age verification screen *2026-08-13, version 9.1.0* download game, enter age and gender immediately then it just stays on scrren and never laods. i guess thats fine it saves me from having to play this garbage game. ### 3/5 — No optional ads *2026-08-13, version 9.1.0* The ads that help win money are gone ### 5/5 — When I was a kid this was my favorite game I still love it after a long time I m gonna try it again *2026-08-13, version 9.1.0* Love it ### 1/5 — Game and Customer service no longer reliable *2026-08-13, version 9.1.0* Do to a unreliable customer service, and unreliable software that frequently rips you off out of your in game currency however unintentionally it may be, and the lack of developer priority towards making adjustments to increase quality game play, I have decided to stop playing and stop spending money on this game for now. An enormous amount of money and tedious work is asked of players in this game to say the very least. They deserve much better, again to say the very least. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — They want you to pay all the time *2026-08-23, version 9.1.0* This game used to be very affordable back when it was new. Now, they charge for everything. I wouldn’t mind paying for the game, but that’s not an option. This new subscription-based way of doing things is ridiculous. You must pay every 30 days if you want an ad-free experience or a decent car. You will never own the game but you will be pating until you decide to stop. ### 1/5 — 😡 it is pay to win *2026-08-18, version 9.1.0* I watched 51 ads which are 1 minute each and got a rubbish car from it. there are ads every minute disturbing my time playing . It is pay to win as fully upgrading a car cost 100 POUNDS. That is diabolical for a kids game. I am stuck with no coins and Cannot afford anything. 1 STAr PLAY REBEL RACING INSTEAD. Ps inappropriate ads as well ### 1/5 — Incompetent Developers *2026-08-18, version 9.1.0* 13 years going, been with it all the way, this is a classic example of thinking it cannot get worse, however every update brings more problems, server expansion recently has constant connection issues. The drive for years has been get the in game payments, the numbers have dropped, the ads have increased, the move from Ukraine to Vietnam has multiplied the speed of demise. Customer care is now AI, maybe one real person will reply after weeks if you hold the ticket open. Gameloft are known in the playing community as Greedloft. It is time to shut this down or invest in the player experience to bring them back to spending, like in the early years. I titled using the word incompetent, that is my opinion and I feel it is justified. The recent introduction of unnecessary decal storage no one asked for, on a server struggling to cope with layers of code in conflict has rendered the game unplayable several times a day, but don’t worry, you can still watch ads! ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-08-18, version 9.1.0* Bro I’m to broke to be paying bands on this game but I literally can’t buy any cars bring the old game back please this new way of playing the game is boring ### 1/5 — Hello *2026-08-18, version 9.1.0* Please fix the garage — it's impossible to play like this, you've ruined the game. ### 1/5 — No racing, just breaking *2026-08-16, version 9.1.0* Every time they update this game it brake checks you hard. There are so many levels of fake currency built into this decent racer that you can’t ever get to the actual game. It’s overwhelmed by fake “skill” based games that are nothing more than rigged dice or bingo card “games” I’d rather tell you what would make a better game because the grotesque shell of this actually fun game completely ruins the core of an exciting arcade racer. 1st destroy all faux currencies and ads, they are not needed to make money and the pay to win destroys the integrity of the game. 2nd eradicate the cheating from the PC users that have infiltrated the code to win without even racing, scoring W with a time of zero. This shows you value the reputation of your competition. 3rd make money purely by selling access to new courses and new cars and new liveries and promotional online races. 4th NONE OF THE CARS HAVE STATS THAT REFLECT THEIR ACTUAL PERFORMANCE, WHICH MAKES IT FALSE ADVERTISING SINCE THEY ARE SELLING THE USE OF THESE CARS WITH COMPLETELY ERRONEOUS STATS!!!! All the cars should have the same overall speed (top speed + nitro) in their class once completing their offline leveling up sequence. Only acceleration and traction varies. Currently every class and level has a dumb ugly car that gets spammed because it exceeds the category and EVERYONE HATES IT! Also, switch from timed nitro to a set limited quantity of bottles to bring into a race… and completely destroy the tuning booster IT IS CHEATING! 5th Weekly tournaments cycle through the D C B A S classes giving rewards such as limited time access to premium vehicles or liveries and such. Currently theres only two tourneys Mater which may as well just be S class and Classic which progresses you through the classes but unfairly does not prevent higher classes and ranks from racing against you! 6th pre game allows players to race around the course to practice and collect nitro bottles while they wait for the race to start. NO MORE WAITING AT STATIC SCREENS WASTING MY TIME. 7th Introduce AI teammates that learn and mimic my racing style. When I wreck, I can take over the AI player, and vice versa, so long as I take the lead car. 8th Destroy cheating rank or VIP based knockdown system. Replace with a health meter or armor shield system. Both battling players get slowed down. 9th No more cheap crashes or sandwich knockdowns between invisible border barriers! Introduce terrain slow down and open up the rails where there are no physical obstacles! It’s nonsense to crash into air just because of an invisible border!!! 10th ABSOLUTELY NEVER AGAIN INTRODUCE A SHELL FAKE SKILL GAME WITH DICE OR BINGO THIS IS UTTER TRASH AND IT’S COMPLETELY PATHETIC ### 1/5 — Very unstable game *2026-08-16, version 9.1.0* Great went it work , but seem incredibly unstable with internet , despite having very reliable fast internet , the game is still extremely unstable ,and I’ve not getting the same issue with other other asphalt games ### 1/5 — What happened? *2026-08-15, version 9.1.0* I loved this game. I grew up with this and now that it got all of these updates, it fell off. I’m disappointed at this. The main issue is the updates and the ads. I understand you may need money to update and bring better content to the game however, the game is practically money based because all cars besides a honorable few in D-class cost credits. Getting credits is the worst part, you either pay or somehow get lucky enough to get some from the game. This game fell off and it would be much better if these issues could be fixed or at least changed in the future. ### 1/5 — Good With A issue *2026-08-15, version 9.1.0* It is a good game it have a draw back is ads to reward. Other player can do it - but I can’t do it now. As Like other players I can’t edit my nicknames In style... etc more —— it have a issu that it’s have internet problem sometime I have internet connection still it say shake the internet connection. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-15, version 9.1.0* The game force you to pay if you want to play map 2. And there are too many ads in the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So good game today *2026-08-24, version 9.1.0* The game is so much more exciting than the original one ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-08-24, version 9.1.0* Fav game been playing for more than 15 years ### 5/5 — Best game of all time 🤩 *2026-08-23, version 9.1.0* I really like this game and I’ve been playing it for 7 years but I want to make the amount of laps in quick race and other race mode customization overall it the best game. One thing I miss asphalt nitro 😢 it was also my favorite game of all time. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-08-23, version 9.1.0* Fun game. I’d recommend getting it. I’d still buy it for 10-30$ if it wasn’t free. Most 67 game I have. ### 5/5 — I love gamelolf *2026-08-20, version 9.1.0* I Just love it so much it’s very fun ### 5/5 — INSANE GAME!!! *2026-08-20, version 9.1.0* THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN AMAZING 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing but… for people trying to get to expensive cars, hard *2026-08-17, version 9.1.0* I have spent at least a 2 day in total time on asphalt 8 but have fun but not so much fun and that’s mostly because I can’t get b and c class cars so the credit shop might need an upgrade with tokens. To start, I have to say that it is urgent to put 100 tokens but only using 30-50,000 or 10-20,000 credits so then people who are trying to get a c class car can get it and also people trying to get b class cars( me) please do this!!!! And make a place where you can sell cars for the price you got them and you have a max of 5 seling so you can get money from car you brought and please do in the next update but if you can, by Aug 25 please plus when you sell the cars to maybe get better cars so like it supposed to be easy without selling car to get to 300 tokens. AND have more electric cars and more cars overall and ad tata electric cars and know about that because I am from India but anyways please do it. ### 5/5 — Great racing game! *2026-08-16, version 9.1.0* Play it on the Mac with a game controller. Tons of ads on iPadOS but not on Mac. Lots of races and better courses than Asphalt Legends, but not as easy to customize your cars. Legends is better for upgrading your cars and doing tricks and stuff, but 8 is better for more races and not getting stuck if you don’t win 1st on every race. ### 5/5 — Amazing but… for people trying to get to expensive cars, hard *2026-08-14, version 9.1.0* I have spent at least a day in total time on asphalt 8 but have fun but not so much fun and that’s mostly because I can’t get b and c class cars so the credit shop might need an upgrade with tokens. To start, I have to say that it is urgent to put 100 tokens but only using 30-50,000 credits so then people who are trying to get a c class car can get it and also people trying to get b class cars( me) please do this!!!! And make a place where you can sell cars for the price you got them and you have a max of 5 seling so you can get money from car you brought and please do in the next update but if you can, by Aug 25 please ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-13, version 9.1.0* Is utterly amazing I love it 🌟 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
