Asphalt Legends Unite free expansion launches on Switch this month

If you want more arcade-style racing action on the Nintendo Switch, Gameloft has now confirmed Asphalt Legends Unite will be available on the eShop later this month. August 19.

This new expansion (which will be free to play) Asphalt 9: Legends (renamed) originally released in July, but has been delayed for Switch. To make up for this, many gifts will be given to Switch players.

This is also the first chapter in the series that will feature cross-platform gameplay. Additionally, players can expect a new cooperative mode (2 teams facing off in police chases), an improved game engine, a brand new UI and in-game HUD, and more.

Here’s a list of rewards Switch players will receive at launch:
