Trivia

• Along with the Alps Update and Black Market Update, the Windows version of Asphalt Xtreme would only receive updates at a significantly later date.
  • The Alps and Coachella Updates would also be bundled together.

• In the Windows version of Asphalt Xtreme, there is a glitch where the pro box button will show the "Free Box!" banner even if a free box is currently not available when opening the game. This gets fixed after a few seconds.
• The Windows version of Asphalt Xtreme also has a bug where all sponsor decals disappears from all cars. This was fixed in the Black Market, Nepal, and Porsche Update bundles.
