What is Asphalt 9: Legends?
Asphalt 9: Legends for Nintendo Switch launched on October 8 as a free-to-download arcade racer with all of the arcade fun and gameplay modes of the original mobile release, including local split-screen and offline game modes, 8-player online play, multiple control options including the innovative Touchdrive and impressive tracks through the robust single-player campaign. Nearly 60 playable licensed super and hyper cars include some of the fastest, rarest, and most prestigious cars ever made, such as the Bugatti Chiron, the McLaren P1 and the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio.
There will be future updates with new content, the same as the PC and Mobile version, and if you want a “head-start” you can also buy two different car starter packs.
