Asphalt 9: Legends on Nintendo Switch Reaches 1 Million Installs in its First Week

Asphalt 9: Legends recently went live on the Nintendo Switch and after 1 week hit 1 million installs.

The free-to-play racing title has been popular among Switch owners. Thanks to strong arcade racing gameplay and free online multiplayer. Not to mention the dense array of tracks to play and cars to earn.

“This is an incredible moment for us,” said Guilherme Lachaut, VP Strategic Partnerships at Gameloft. “Bringing Asphalt 9: Legends to Nintendo Switch is something we wanted to do for a long time, as we are great fans of this platform. It has been a strong request from our community and it translates today with one million downloads in a week. We put all our craft into this new tailored version of our game to make it really fit this fantastic console. The sheer arcade fun that is Asphalt 9: Legends really shines, especially in the local splitscreen races with four players that the Nintendo Switch made possible.”

Asphalt 9: Legends is now available for PC, mobile devices, and Nintendo Switch. I reviewed Asphalt 9 and stated "Asphalt 9: Legends has a wide array of content and does include microtransactions to boost progression but the overall racing gameplay overshadows most of the monetization."
