Asphalt 9: A Beginner's Guide, First Races, Career Mode & more!

Asphalt 9: Legends remains one of our favourite mobile racers, despite its release in 2018.

With a huge selection of cars and tracks to race at, it's a perfect arcade racer to play on the go.

So, if you haven't played the game yet, read on so you too can get racing with the legends!

Getting Started

Firstly, after you've downloaded the game, you'll be taken through the game's intuitive TouchDrive system.

IMPRESSIVE VISUALS: The game looks amazing on all devices!

This enables you to play without having to do too much at all, simply select when you want to drift or use nitro.

As well as this, the game will ask you to select a path at each 'junction'. Should there be a ramp and a road to take, you'll have to swipe according to which one you want to use.

Moving Forward

The next major step is getting started with your first car. This will be the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

TIME TO GAME: TouchDrive makes playing the game incredibly easy!

You'll start with 15,000 credits, so we recommend getting a few upgrades in on your car. You won't need those credits to unlock new cars in future (more on that later).

Now, get started with you career and start earning some cars you really want to race in!

Start Your Engines

The next step is to get playing! In the career mode of the game, you'll have certain flags with objectives assigned to them.

SWITCH IT UP: You can also get the game on Nintendo Switch!

Completing these will earn blueprints (the new way of unlocking cars) and credits.

There are also Daily Objectives and wider career achievements. We highly recommending completing these.

Not only will you earn tokens, the game's premium currency, you'll also earn more blueprints. This will help later down the line when you're looking for your first S-Tier car!

Ready for Racing!

So, that's our Beginner's Guide. The game is a great arcade racer, so don't focus too much on the realism.

As you progress, there are many cars for you to unlock, and singleplayer as well as multiplayer modes.

Compete as widely as you want to, and if you're good enough, you may even get the chance to race in some Asphalt Esports!

You can download the game for iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch now.
