Please note that our developers are already working on this issue in order to resolve it in a timely manner.

Please note that we have currently removed the friend list from the game, but we expect to retrieve it in future updates.

As this game allows cloud saving, all copies of your game data are automatically saved on our server. If you change your device, you can go to "Options" >> "Restore your purchases" and download the last save from our server. Please note that this feature has been developed to ensure the safety of your game data, and it does not allow playing on several devices/accounts simultaneously. By trying to synchronize several accounts on multiple devices, you will definitely lose some data due to the nature of cloud saving. Please note that only devices with the same operating system (Android, iOS, Windows 8) can be synchronized.

Rest assured that we are already aware of this issue and our developers are planning a mass campaign to send players the missing credits very soon.

We are aware of an issue affecting some of our players; when trying to make an in-game purchase, the following error message appears: “Request timed out. Please check your connection or try again later.” We are working as quickly as possible on a solution for this issue and expect to fix it in a timely manner. Thank you for your patience.

We have received reports from some players that their game results are not synchronized and they lose their gained progress and tickets. Please note that it is not a bug or connection issue -- you just need to wait for a while (up to 10 mins) and then proceed; the results should then load correctly.

A few players reported that Season 12 in Moto Blitz and Mastery for BMW S 1000 RR are currently blocked. Please note that the issue was fixed server-side, so from now on to access Season 12 you need to score 25 Helmets in Season 10 and in order to access BMW S 1000 RR Mastery you need to acquire the bike itself and score 10 Helmets in Season 9. Please note that in order for the server-side fix to be applied, you need to re-launch the game 1-2 times.

We are already aware about this issue and it will be fixed in the nearest future. Thank you for your patience.

We are aware of the issue affecting some of our players where they are unable to update the game properly. Our development team is already working as quickly as possible in order to have the issue fixed within the shortest possible time. In the meantime, please try the following steps to resolve the issue: Free up more space on your device, clear the cache on your device (you can use the free Easy Cache Cleaner app for this purpose), restart your device, restart your Wi-Fi router, and try again. Please accept our sincere apologies for the temporary inconvenience.

A few players reported that "Choose another item" error appears when attempting to perform in-app purchase. Please rest assured that the problem is currently being investigated and it will be resolved soon.

You need to contact Customer Care. Just go to Options and choose CUSTOMER CARE. Fill out the form and explain your issue. We’ll contact you as fast as we can.

You just need to race and earn Stars and Asphalt Credits. Some of the Events are locked by Stars, while others require that you own a specific car.

You can unlock an Event by obtaining the required number of Stars, by purchasing a specific car, by purchasing a car from a specific class or from a certain manufacturer (for example, any Audi car), or one that has the required engine type (for example, electric).

The cars in Asphalt 8 are not locked. You just need the correct amount of Asphalt Credits to buy them.

In the Garage Menu or in the car selection screen, tap on the UPGRADE icon in the lower part of the screen. The game will display the car stats and the available upgrades. There are 4 categories of upgrades: Acceleration, Top Speed, Handling and Nitro. Just tap on the icon to buy the upgrade of the desired category. There are 5 steps of upgrade per category.

In the Main Menu, tap the big “+” symbol near your Asphalt Credits and the In-App Purchase shop will open.

You earn Asphalt Credits by racing in Career Mode and Multiplayer World Series. Note that the amount of credits won depends on your position and the amount of Stars earned in Career Mode. By contrast, Quick Solo Race and Local Wi-Fi Race are two game modes where all locations are available, but where there are no Asphalt Credits to gain.

Stars are used to unlock Seasons. Also, certain Events in each Season are locked with Stars. Each Career Season can be accessed instantly by purchasing a Season Unlock from the Season page. Purchasing a Season Unlock also opens all events in that Season. Stars themselves, however, cannot be purchased.

In a QUICK SOLO RACE, you can race in all locations with the cars that you currently own. In LOCAL Wi-Fi RACE, you can race with the first car of every Class for free.

Progress is saved automatically. If you are logged in, your progress will also be saved in the Cloud.

A car's rank takes into account Acceleration, Top Speed, Handling and Nitro. It is an indicator of the power of your selected car and is used in the game to indicate the probable rank you need to win an Event. You can increase a car’s rank by upgrading the car in the Garage Menu, or you can buy cars with higher ranks.

In Classic Mode, the goal is to finish in first, second or third place to win 3, 2 or 1 Stars, respectively. There are no other special conditions.

In Versus Mode, you are pitted against only one opponent and the goal is to finish the race first. No other special conditions.

In Knockdown Mode, you race against one rival and many other cars. Your goal is to knock down more cars than your rival, either in a set amount of time, or from a set amount of cars.

In Elimination Mode, whoever is last during the race gets a timer. When the timer reaches zero, the last-place racer is eliminated. The timer resets each time a racer is eliminated. Your goal is to be the last one standing, in which case you will be awarded 3 Stars. If you finish 2nd or 3rd you will receive 2 or 1 Stars respectively.

In Infected Mode, the racer in last place gets infected at regular intervals. Infected racers have a timer and are visually rendered green. When the timer runs out, the infected racer explodes, loses some time and then gets cured. All infected racers have infinite Nitro. Hit other racers to infect them and to gain extra time on the infected timer. Your goal is to cross the finish line in the first, second or third position to get 3, 2 or 1 Stars respectively.

In Gate Drift Mode, there are multiple gates around the track. You have to be drifting when you pass through the gate to score points. If you drift outside the gate or pass through the gate without drifting, you won’t score any points. There are no opponents, only a time limit. Your goal is to reach the target score to get at least 1 Star, or score higher than the target to get more Stars.

In Career Mode, the objectives are explained in the pre-race screen. Tap on any Event poster to get extra info about the race: the type of challenge and the 4th- and 5th-Star objectives. Once an Event has been chosen and the car is selected, you will see the objectives again in the loading screen. If you are already racing, you can tap the Pause icon and you will see the 4th- and 5th-Star objectives displayed on the screen.

While racing, tap the PAUSE icon and select the type of music that you like most.

No, you don’t have time to look back during the races.

You can change it during the race by tapping the small camera icon near the upper-right corner of the screen. You can also change it by tapping PAUSE/OPTIONS/SOUND AND DISPLAY.

In the Main Menu, tap your emblem (upper-left corner of the screen) to access your Profile. In the Profile screen, you'll see several tabs. Tap the MEDALS tab.

A Ghost is a save of a dedicated race for a dedicated car by a player. In the game, they appear as translucent cars that replay a saved race. Whenever you finish an Event that features Ghosts (there will be a blue diamond Ghost icon on the Event poster), you can save what you have done by tapping the SAVE YOUR GHOST icon.

Tap on the Challenge in the Friends' Activity window in the Main Menu. Your friend’s Ghost will be automatically downloaded and you will be directed to the Challenge. Select your car and you will be racing against the Ghost. By tapping FRIENDS in the Main Menu, you’ll access a wall where you can see all the messages.

In a Multiplayer LOCAL Wi-Fi RACE, one player creates a room by tapping CREATE. Once the room is created, the other players need to select JOIN (LOCAL Wi-Fi RACE/JOIN ROOM) and then select the race from the list. Multiplayer WORLD SERIES is a competitive mode matching players from all over the world against each other. The matchmaking system selects players with similar Cars, Ranks, and Leaderboard positions and assigns them to a match. This mode is the ultimate online racing competitive experience and is designed to pit players against opponents with similar skill. Tap on WORLD SERIES, select your car, and then tap JOIN ROOM and select a race mode.

In Career Mode, some Events offer you the possibility to ADD GHOST TO RACE (at the bottom left of the screen). Tap on the icon to select a Ghost from one of your friends and challenge it automatically.

Tap the FRIENDS icon in the Main Menu. You are now checking your friend’s activity. If you tap the FRIENDS tab, you’ll see a complete list. Choose any of them and you’ll see a window with their stats. You can also tap your emblem (upper-left corner of the screen) to access your Profile. In the Profile screen, you'll see several tabs. Tap the SOCIAL tab. If you are already connected, you will see a list of your friends below. Tap them to see their statistics.

In the Garage Menu or the car selection screen, tap on the CAR PAINT icon and choose a new color for your car. Please note that different cars have different colors available, depending on the car licensor agreements.

Changing the color of the car also affects the tone of the window’s tint and of any stripes. The option to add decals is not present in this release.

From the Main Menu, tap your emblem (upper-left corner of the screen) to access your Profile. In the Profile screen, there are several tabs. Tap the SOCIAL tab and select your social network.

In the Main Menu, tap the OPTIONS icon (upper-right corner near the Gameloft icon). Now select the LANGUAGES icon and choose the desired FLAG.

In the OPTIONS menu, accessible from the Main and Pause Menus, select SOUND AND DISPLAY. In the lower part of the screen, you will find the SPEED UNIT section.

In the OPTIONS menu, accessible from the Main and Pause Menus, select SOUND AND DISPLAY. There are some sliders to adjust the various volumes.

A Barrel Roll is an aerial maneuver in Asphalt 8 that sends the car flying in a corkscrew trajectory. It can be initiated by jumping off curved ramps at high speed. A Flat Spin is another aerial trick in Asphalt 8 during which the car spins in the air. It can be triggered by jumping off a normal ramp while drifting. Both these tricks reward nitro during a race. Skilled players can perform several rolls or spins in a single jump, which is a solid strategy to quickly fill their car's nitro bar.

You can level up by taking part in World Series (Online Multiplayer) races. Each World Series race awards experience, depending on player performance: Finishing in 1st place awards more experience than just participating.

No.

The feature has been removed from the game. Please find your friends in another social network.

Every day you play the game, you'll receive a reward. The credits for your first race will be increased by a certain percentage. Play the game daily and this percentage will grow. Keep playing daily to maintain the bonus at its maximum value.

Inactive players will be removed from the leaderboard after 2 weeks. This will not affect their rating; playing multiplayer again will re-post the new rating. You can enable push notifications to be notified of the removal in advance. Make sure to play World Series often to show off your skills to everyone!

Rental costs prevented new players from participating in the races concerned, so we replaced those costs with a FUEL system that refills over time. Now, every Time-Limited Event requires fuel in order to race. Make every attempt count and don’t worry about using up your fuel; it automatically refills over time!

Since the game's launch, we’ve released many awesome new cars with every update. We’ve created new car packs to include some of these. Check out the new car bundles available on the CAR PACKS screen!

A Car Collection is a set of cars with a common theme (type of engine, brand, country, etc.). By completing a Car Collection, you get a reward. It’s a cool way to track your cars and get new bonuses as you progress through the game!

You can win them in exclusive Time-Limited Events, and you can also buy them with Credits or Tokens.

Unfortunately, for now the game does not have cross-platform capability. This means that players using one platform (Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows 8) are not able to play with players using another platform.

Cups are played to unlock specific cars. If you have already unlocked that car, you will not receive any other reward.

Firstly, we've increased the number of players to 12. This means that from now on, you'll see Time-Limited Events with different amounts of players. Secondly, we’ve updated the system so a single Multiplayer race uses one random track from a specific list… Be prepared to get familiar with them all, since it won't be so easy to learn and master a Multiplayer Time-Limited Event!

Tenerife has 4 different tracks. You can play them in Career Mode (Season 9) in the new Update 9 Time-Limited Events. We also plan to unlock them in the World Series in the future.

There is no Multiplayer option for iPhone 4 and iPod touch (4th generation).

Once a TLE is finished, the rewards will appear as a "CLAIM YOUR REWARDS" banner in the Events menu. Tap it to receive the rewards for all the TLEs in which you have taken part in the past.

If you played online and have your progress stored, you will be able to claim your reward for up to 2 weeks.

Open the main menu, tap your emblem (upper-left corner of the screen) to access your Profile. In the Profile screen, there are several tabs. Tap the SOCIAL tab and connect to Game Center / Facebook / Google+ / Xbox Live. You can add your friends from Facebook. Their activity is displayed in the Friends' Activity Window in the main menu. You have quick access to FRIENDS in the main menu if you are already connected.

You have to wait for a while to be able to synchronize your game progress with another device. Please also note that progress can only be synchronized between devices on the same platform.

The rewards for each TLE are different. You can browse the rewards by tapping on the time-limited event in the Events menu, then tapping on the icon with an exclamation mark on the left side of the screen. Rewards can be of different types: CARS, CREDITS, BOOSTS, FREE UPGRADES, TOKENS, PRO-BOXES, DECALS.

The installed game takes up 1.8 GB, but the device requires 2.8 GB for the installation process (for both the installation and the downloaded file). After the installation is completed, the downloaded file is deleted.

Please note that Multiplayer mode is online racing which means that if you tap on pause, you immediately stop racing and automatically end your race. Therefore, the problem does not come from ads; please make sure that you don't tap on pause in Multiplayer.

Stars measure your progress throughout Career Mode. There are 374 Events with 5 Stars to gain in each one, for a total of 1870 Stars. The first 3 Stars are always won by position/time/score in a Career Event. This depends on the game mode. The 4th and 5th Stars are won by completing two specific objectives per Event. These objectives are described in the Pre-race screen.

The "AUTO-RECORD" option will automatically record each race you play and allows you to share the resulting video at the end of the race. This option might ask for your permission to record your gameplay each time you start a race.

Elite Cars are new types of cars that allow you to accurately tune each of the car's performance parameters. As a result, these cars need to be tuned up periodically.

In the Garage, there is a special tune-up icon with a bar to the right of the Elite Cars. You can pay a small fee and redistribute your car's stats. This starts the timer for the tune-up process. After it ends, you can use your fine-tuned car in the races. The tune-up process might also be required once every few races.

Most Gameloft games offer players the chance to buy some extras with real money to get even more fun out of the game. There are cases when a purchase is made by players' friends / family members, without the player knowing it. We would like to remind you that you can restrict in-app purchases on your device. Here are quick tips on how to set a special password for such purchases. If you are using Windows Phone, there is an option to set a PIN for your Wallet: 1) In the App list, tap the Wallet icon; 2)Tap the More icon, then tap on Settings+PIN; 3)Turn on the Wallet PIN setting, enter and confirm your new PIN (it must be at least four digits), then tap on Done; 4) If you'd like to require this PIN for purchases in the Windows Phone Store, select the "Use Wallet PIN to protect music, app and in-app purchases" checkbox.

If you see that the game doesn't load any packs, please try these basic troubleshooting steps: 1) Make sure that nobody else can use your Wi-Fi connection; 2) Make sure that the signal strength is at maximum; 3) Turn your device off for two minutes, then restart your Wi-Fi router and start the game again. If the problem persists, it may be caused by temporary server issues. In this case, just wait for an hour and try again later. If the game returns errors when trying to make an in-app purchase, you may need to verify the following: 1) Make sure you are correctly logged into your Microsoft Live account. Try to log out and log back in; 2) Check your account balance and make sure you have sufficient funds; 3) Make sure that your payment information is up to date. Log into this site: http://commerce.microsoft.com/ and select Payment Options; 4) If you receive a "pending transaction" error, it means that one of the previous transactions has not been completed yet. Please try to make your purchase again later.

As a rule, the purchase should appear in the game instantly. If that didn't happen, please exit the game, make sure that you are properly connected to the Internet and log back in. A fresh connection with the server may speed up the process. If the purchase did not appear, please contact us using the "Customer Care" option in the game, attaching the purchase confirmation, so we can confirm if the transaction was made on your account.

Please note that in-app purchases are designed to be completed only by tapping on them. Therefore, if you have tapped on an offer several times, that could result in several orders. After making a purchase, you should receive a purchase confirmation from the Windows store. If you were charged several times and received confirmation of several purchases but ordered only once, please contact us using the Customer Care option in the game, attaching a screenshot of your order history where these purchases would be visible.

Here's how to view all your Windows Store purchases from your Microsoft account: 1) Sign into account.microsoft.com; 2) Go to "Payment & billing" and select "Order history"; 3) Select the order made in-game; 4) Take a screenshot of it. To take a screenshot on a Windows Phone or Windows 8 tablet, press the power button and volume-up key at the same time. The screenshot will be saved to your Pictures folder. To take a screenshot on a Windows PC, press the Windows logo key + PrtScn. The screenshot will appear as a file in a folder called "Screenshots" inside your default "Pictures" folder. If the purchase was made on the Gameloft Shop using direct phone billing, you will receive an SMS message with the payment confirmation. In this case the purchase confirmation will be your mobile phone number.

Kidly note that in order to download or update a Gameloft game, you need to be connected to Wi-Fi (not 3G/4G). If you have any issues updating a game, please try the following troubleshooting steps: Windows Phone 8: 1) Go directly to the game store 2) Find the game 3) Select "Update" Windows 8: 1) Go to game store 2) Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and then tap Settings (if you use a PC with a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, then click Settings) 3) Tap or click on App Updates 4) Make sure that "Automatically update my apps" is set to NO 5) Then manually check for updates by clicking on "Check for Updates" Also, remember that the game needs twice as much available internal storage as the size of the game (i.e. if the game's size is 2 GB, you will need at least 4 GB free). This storage space won't be used after the game is installed or updated, but it is necessary for proper download and performance. In order to free up more space, please remove unused applications, photos and videos, and try clearing the device's cache. After that, follow the troubleshooting steps below: 1) Cancel and restart the download. 2) Restart your device, then try downloading the app again. 3) Confirm there is connectivity to either a wireless or cellular network on your device, and contact your service provider if you aren't connected. If this doesn't solve the problem, please try deleting the game from the device and re-downloading it. After reinstallation, you will be able to restore your game progress by logging into the same account (Facebook / Xbox Live / Gameloft LIVE!) that you used in the game previously.

If your device is supported by the selected game, you will be able to find this game in the Windows Store by searching its name. If a game is not listed, unfortunately it is not supported. Picking an alternate device, even if the model numbers are similar, will not work. Before adding a phone/tablet, we perform various tests to make sure that we can maintain the quality that gamers expect from Gameloft.

Please be advised that when the newest Windows version is released, some games might be not fully optimized for it. In this case we suggest that you wait for an update or hotfix that should solve the problem. We are sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

If the sound in your game has disappeared, this could be caused by several factors. We suggest that you do the following: 1. Make sure that you have the sound ON in your in-game settings; 2. If the sound is ON but the game is still silent, try quitting the game and restarting the device; 3. Check whether your device is muted; this will affect the game state as well; 4. Try plugging in and unplugging your headphones; 5. Try opening another application and see if the sound works there; if there is no sound there too, the problem could be with your device, not the game.

If you have noticed that a certain amount of your in-game currency is missing, this means that it has been somehow spent during gameplay. In most cases, it’s because another person has used it (possibly a friend or family member). This is also likely if you've loaded your account onto someone else's device and forgot to log out. They could be playing on your account without you knowing. Please be advised that the game never uses in-game resources on its own; all the actions (including purchases with in-game currency) are always triggered by the player. Accidental purchases are a possibility, too. In order to prevent such problems from happening, please do not forget to lock your screen after playing. Moreover, if you have loaded your account onto someone else's device, remember to log out when you're done. Since we cannot cancel the player's actions on our side (i.e. revert the progress that was reached as result of accidental purchase or take back items bought by accident), we cannot offer refunds for accidental in-game purchases as this would be unfair to other players who earned the same item or upgrade with their own resources and effort.

Please note that the rewards are always sent only after the event has ended, according to your final leaderboard position. Make sure that the event is not ongoing at the moment, check the announced prizes, and refresh the page with the leaderboard. Sometimes winners change within a minute, so you need to be well connected in order to see the most up-to-date information.

Kindly note that there is a limited number of Free Cash videos that can be watched per day. Once you have exceeded the limit, you won't get the rewards for further views. Please also note that they may not be available every day. It depends on the campaign held for your platform in your specific country. Moreover, there are many other factors at play as well.

Please note that items never disappear by themselves, and the game never performs any item interactions on the player's behalf. If you have noticed that you are missing an item, check if it was used when creating other items. It is also possible that you (or some of your friends / family members) have deleted it or sold it by accident. In order to prevent such problems from happening, please do not forget to lock your screen after playing and remember to log out if you have loaded your account onto someone else's device. There are also situations where the game crashes or freezes when you are just about to loot/win a cool item. The game mechanics are designed in such a way that items are considered yours only if you were lucky enough to pick them up. In order to prevent such issues, please make sure that you have a stable Internet connection.

To manage notifications on Windows Phone, please open the App list, tap Settings > Notifications + actions, and choose the game from the list of your apps. There, you can turn notifications on or off. Also, there are notifications that are sent by the game. These can be disabled in the main menu of the game by going to the settings, then notifications.

If your account has been banned, this means that our systems have detected abnormal activity in your account. Specific prohibited activities include, but are not limited to: 1) Using cheats, exploits, automation software, bots, hacks, mods or any other unauthorized software designed to modify or interfere with the Services; 2) Using the account, username, or password of another account holder at any time or disclosing your password to any third party or permitting any third party to access your Account; 3) Sublicense, rent, lease, sell, trade, gift, bequeath or otherwise transfer your account or any Virtual Items associated with your account to anyone; 4) Access or use a third-party account or any Virtual Items that have been sublicensed, rented, leased, sold, traded, gifted, bequeathed, or otherwise transferred from the holder or the original account creator; 5) Utilize multiple accounts, manual procedures, bots, scripts or other processes in order to accumulate or "farm" Virtual Items; 6) Use the Services in a commercial manner, including the transferring of Virtual Items in exchange for "real world" money. Your account could be also banned temporarily for a fixed term. This term should be indicated in the ban message that you receive upon launching the game.

If you are typing a message in the in-game chat but it is not sent or remains invisible, it is very likely that your account has been muted in the chat. This could happen if you have been showing unacceptable disrespectful behavior towards our community. We do not tolerate abusive chat behavior or any other such behavior, and want to provide a clean and fair experience for all customers.

We are taking all possible measures to prevent players from using hacks and cheating: Our technical department thoroughly checks the accounts of suspicious players. Still, every now and then, misunderstandings and disputes with other players may arise. Some of our games have "Report" icons that appear when you tap on a player's nickname or avatar. These can be used to report users if they: 1. Cheat (use hacks, exploits or any kind of cheats); 2. Show abusive behavior (behavior you consider offensive or aggressive); 3. Engage in suspicious activities. To see if this option is available in your game, please check specific game FAQs.

A Classic race with an extra rule: No nitro power-ups on the track!

A Classic race with a twist: No wrecks allowed!

ENDURO DOUBLE DOWN is a special type of Time-Limited Event where you can get your hands on unreleased cars and other cool prizes. In ENDURO DOUBLE DOWN, you will encounter randomly picked TIERS of challenges on different tracks and while driving different cars. Each attempt will be different from the next.

Complete one of the challenges to score Enduro Points. More wins equal a bigger score and better rewards. To progress in the event, you also need to beat the ACE RACER at the end of each TIER. If you succeed, you will have the option to save the ENDURO POINTS you scored, or you can take a chance and apply a boost to get even more points in the next challenges. There is also an option for both, for the cost of some tokens.

On top of getting the biggest reward if you earn the top score in events, you will also unlock several additional rewards as you reach different tiers of ENDURO POINTS. Check the rewards list for additional details.

If you lose, your run will be completed. Saved ENDURO POINTS will be counted and you can start again from challenge 1. Each start requires you to spend an INVITATION, which is restored over time.

Enduro Double Down is a Time-Limited Event, so it is not always active. Please keep an eye on our announcements in-game and on our social network accounts.

Daily Tasks are a way of winning rewards in Asphalt 8! Play multiplayer races, perform barrel rolls, finish first in Career events and get rewarded! Check the list of tasks by tapping the orange Daily Tasks icon located on the top bar near your name!

The recipe has been changed. Now you need V8 Engine cards to upgrade the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014.

Please note that besides having a maxed-out car with all pro upgrades, you should also set the settings of the car to default.

They're the new type of competition event in multiplayer. They're limited-time events. Also, there is now a list of rewards, which you can obtain by scoring special Season Points in each race.

You score points by performing the required objective for each race. For example, "Finish 3rd"; if you finish in third place, you will score points.

It allows you to score additional points (up to +100%) in the next race. Points for your previous race, however, will not be saved. So it's risky.

Yes, that's what the third option, "SAVE + RISK," is for. You can activate it to do both: save your points and add bonus points for the next race.

By reaching higher leagues, you will score more points (see the "leagues" sections). Certain cars may increase point output; check the "FEATURED CARS" section. There are also bonuses on certain days of the week.

When a Season is active, each race will require you to spend season tickets in order to score season points.

When you are out of tickets, you can still race in multiplayer races, but you will not score points. You can get more tickets using Tokens.

Leagues show how good you are against the other players. The more you win, the higher you rank in a league.

There are 5 leagues:<br /> <br /> Amateur<br /> Challenger<br /> Professional<br /> Champion<br /> Elite<br /> <br /> Each league is divided into 3 Tiers.

1) There is a set of rewards that every player in the corresponding league obtains at the end of the season. 2) You receive promotional rewards each time you reach the next tier. 3) For being in higher leagues, you will also get a higher number of season points per race. 4) Your achievements in the league (your league standing, position on the leaderboard, and rating) will be reflected in a new section of your profile: the HALL OF FAME!

If you don't play in Multiplayer Seasons for 7 days straight, you might start to automatically lose your rating and you can even be demoted to a lower league. Play multiplayer regularly.

This feature can't be used without an Internet connection.

The Shelby Cobra 427 is a Car Mastery Reward and players need to complete the Car Mastery in order to get it.

After the current season ends, a new season will soon be started. Your initial rating, which influences your league, will not be reset to 1,000. It will be defined after the first race, and will include your previous seasons' achievements.

You will receive these rewards at the end of the season.

There is no way to delete your progress in Asphalt 8. You could, however, log in with a new Facebook or Game Center/Google+ account and then start a new profile.

The "Claim Reward" banner is available for 2 weeks after the end of the event. 

The amount of points you win depends on the amount of players that take part in the race. You get less points if you win a race among 4 players, than you would for a race with 8 players. Also, the more races you run, the less points you will be eligible to receive.

With the PRO KITS, you can upgrade your cars to new levels of performance. Collect cards and use them to upgrade your cars by entering the TUNING section of the garage, then the PRO KITS page.

Yes, you can, but we strongly recommend having only 1 account per device. Abusing the cloud saving feature can result in the loss of your game data.

It is possible to recover your progress after reinstalling the game or after replacing your device (phone, tablet, laptop or PC). In order to do this, you just need to install the app on your device and log into the same social network account you used previously to link your game progress to your device. Please note, however, that this only works within the same platform (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows 8).

This process is completely automated and works like a lottery. However, we have re-balanced the system so that you can get more legendary engines in the Pro Kit boxes.

You need to "Save" your points first. This can be done at the end of each race; just check for the "SAVE POINTS" option. Unsaved points will reset when you lose.

Yes, you can use the following controllers: MOGA Pro Controller, iPega PG-9025, Xbox One controller, PS3 and PS4 controllers, G910 controller (with OpenPad Union software), MINIX NEO X7 controller, and MOGA Pocket Controller. If you do not see your controller on this list, it means that we do not support it at the moment.

Pro Kit cards are a feature in Asphalt 8 that has been added in the Pro Kit update. You need several pro cards to install Pro Kit Upgrades on your car. Each car needs its own pack of cards. For example, you can fully upgrade the Dodge Dart GT with only 4 cards, but to do the same for the HTT Pléthore LC 750, you need to have more than 170 (!) cards. Here are the different types of cards: Tire Cards, Suspension Cards, Drivetrain Cards, Exhaust Cards, Engine Cards (i4, i6, v6, V8, Forced-Induction V8, V10, V12, V16, W16, F12, F6, Electric, Hybrid, Rotary), and Tech cards (Initial Tech, Early Tech, Mid-Tech, Advanced Tech).

VIP points are obtained through in-app purchases of any packs (Credits or Tokens, Car Packs, etc.). These points increase your VIP level. The higher the level, the better the rewards.

You can change your country by going to Settings > Language and Country/Region. Please note that this is a one-time action and it will be locked after you confirm your choice. That is why we kindly advise that you set your country wisely.

A Perfect Run is a bonus that rewards you for smooth driving. You can perform a Perfect Run by not touching walls, wrecking or getting knocked down for 20 seconds. Knocking down other racers, traffic, or obliterating obstacles will not affect your Perfect Run. After 20 seconds, you will be rewarded with a small nitro bonus (25% of your nitro bar). Touching the sides of ramps and falling out of the map also will not affect your Perfect Run.

The difference between car ranks may be bigger than 120 points if you choose the "Face stronger opponents" option. In this case, it may increase up to 160 points.

We are aware that some of our players have faced a problem with car controls when playing the game, such as the car turning left or right by itself. To solve these issues, please try the following steps: 1. Restart your device and make sure your Internet connection works properly. 2. Get more information on controls by launching the tutorial race and reading the "Help" section carefully. 3. Try different control schemes and try to find the one that suits you best.

In order to download additional content, you need to have a total of more than 1.8 GB of free space on your device (internal storage, not SD card). Without a full download of the additional content, you won't be able to play Multiplayer, Local Wi-Fi or Offline modes.

Please note that watching a video will restore only one tire, not five. If there is 1 hour left until the restoration of tires and you watch the video, a tire will be restored. But after you use this tire, the timer will be reset to 8 hours.

Please note that to unlock Season 10, you need to own a McLaren M14A or McLaren Mercedes MP4-25. At the moment, these cars can only be won in events.

Please note that you need to own at least one McLaren race car. You can win these race cars in the McLaren Championship and sometimes they can also be available in the Shop. So far there are 4 McLaren race cars in the game: McLaren M14A, McLaren Mercedes MP4-25, McLaren MP4/8, and McLaren MP4-31.

In this case, you will receive the rewards for both level 6 and level 7.

No, you can only use the avatars generated by the game, and unfortunately the emblems cannot be customized.

Please note that if you are inactive during the entire season, it may reduce your rating or even demote you to a lower league. It also might affect your multiplayer points.

If you connect to any social network from inside the game, your name from that social network will be displayed in-game (in your profile and leaderboard). If you change your name on that social network, your in-game name will accordingly change automatically.
