Bugs and Glitches[]
- The following bugs/glitches still persist from previous updates:
- The Club Chat doesn't display messages when pressing the chat button. This occurred after a hotfix.
- The Devel Sixteen's physics issues have been fixed.
- Certain cars display wrong car logos on their blueprints.
- Devel Sixteen's brand was erroneously changed to De Tomaso brand.
- On the Formula E Gen2 Asphalt Edition's car brand, the Porsche logo was displayed instead of Formula E.
- When a player plays a Slipstream race, the blue lines behind other racers don't appear at the start and during the majority of the race and continues until the race ends.
- On Xbox, players are unable to claim rewards when pressing the "Claim" button after completing certain amounts of conditions on Special Events. A workaround is to either launch the game on mobile devices that run on iOS or Android, or download the game from Windows Store, launch, and then claim the rewards from there.
- Drive Syndicate 9 event bugs:
- On the thumbnail for Drive Syndicate 9, the main car was erroneously displayed as a Pininfarina Battista instead of a Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut.
- The name of the main Drive Syndicate car was also erroneously displayed as "Pininfarina Jesko Absolut" instead of Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut.
- When a player is about to play a Drive Syndicate event, there is no "Enter" button. A workaround is to press a Drive Syndicate event button twice to continue playing.
- When upgrading the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, depending on the stage, if the car has been fully upgraded, the words "Max" and "Error" are overlapping to each other when a specific stat for the car is selected.
- Some smartphones that run on Android can't load the game properly despite meeting the requirements. This is indicated by:
- The loading screen would continue to appear or change to a black screen even when the game music is playing.
- Three navigation buttons appear and disappear non-stop.
- A workaround is to quickly tap the "Recent" button, which is usually located on the bottom right of the screen when loading the game, then tap on the game icon.
- When a player minimizes the game on Windows while the in-game music plays, the audio still plays in the background despite the game being minimized.
- Certain cars cannot be overclocked even though these cars are capable of and the "Overclock" button is displayed on the screen.
- On the image of a Key-required car, the Class of the car is displayed as class C instead of the actual class.
- This was fixed on July 31, 2024.
- Four unobtainable new Security Team cars can be viewed in the Garage instead of being hidden.
- This was fixed on July 31, 2024. However, these new security cars are lacking their Blueprint icons.
- In the Nintendo Switch version, sometimes the progress in a Quick Race is reset.
- Playing a race in Touchdrive mode is not working properly.
- While playing on Xbox, the game often freezes during a race which may sometimes result in a crash.
- The "Prizes" button on the Grand Prix event is not working properly. This happened since the launch of the Lamborghini Auténtica Grand Prix event.
- This was fixed with another hotfix update on August 27, 2024.
- On Windows, in Team Pursuit, after being eliminated and pressing the "Pause" button, the mouse cursor doesn't appear.
- On Windows, the McLaren Speedtail's body paint appears black only in very low settings. This only happened when the car is viewed in the garage and not during races.
- On Xbox, sometimes during a race, the cars are blurred out during the countdown. This possibly occurred after one of the hotfix updates.
Post-Update Screen[]
Trailer[]
Trivia[]
- This is the first major update to celebrate the rebranding of the game to "Legends Unite".
- The Nintendo Switch version has been delayed due to "unforeseen circumstances" and will be scheduled to release in a different date[1]. As a result, players on the platform would continue to play on the current update of Asphalt 9: Legends and the duration of some events has been extended.
- With 11 cars (4 being unobtainable and weren't mentioned in the patch notes), this update surpassed the Bring the Heat Update in having the most amount of cars added in one update in the Global (except Nintendo Switch) versions.
- The inclusion of the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut marks the fifth times a car that was originally debuted in the Chinese version was later added to the Global version.
- Prior to the release of the update, the following cars were discovered in the game's files:
- Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut
- Porsche Mission R
- Ford GT Frankie Edition
- The Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 10th Anniversary is the second aftermarket-tuned Mustang added in the Asphalt Series, with the first being the Alutec Boost One, while the Dodge Challenger SRT8 Security is the second Dodge-based police car added in the Asphalt Series, with the first being the Dodge Charger SRT8 Police.
- Coincidentally, the Alutec and the Dodge Police both appeared in Asphalt 7: Heat.
- From this update onwards, Renault becomes the manufacturer with the most cars unlockable in "Showroom" (with 3).
- With the inclusion of the Jesko Absolut, Koenigsegg is tied with Bugatti in having the most cars to be unlocked through "Drive Syndicate" (with 3).
- The physics adjustment of the Devel Sixteen caused some controversies among the player-base due to the cost to obtain the vehicle (at least $5,000) and how the change ruined its value.
