Pinnacle of Speed Update

View source

The Pinnacle of Speed Update is the sixth content update for Asphalt Legends Unite after the rebrand, and the 43rd update overall.

History

Initially in the Asphalt channel's 2025 Roadmap video presented by Muttley on March 5, 2025, for the plans of the May update, certain Quality of Life improvements were mentioned to be included in the update, including New Quests and Unite Pass revamp.[1] However, on May 19, 2025, the updated roadmap was posted as "May Edition", with the May update rather featuring Nitro Catch-up mode (later became Green Streak), Multiplayer bots, Build Your Own Bundle, Collector Mode Special Event and Spotlight pass.[2]

On May 22, 2025, a teaser for the Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration was uploaded on the game's social media platforms with the caption "Aw yeah, this is happenin'!", referencing a line from Sonic in the 1998 game "Sonic Adventure".

The patch notes for the update were unveiled on May 23, 2025 by creators of the ALU creators program including Tune, Race, Repeat![3], Nox Fury[4], LokeshG[5] and GamingWithAwesome[6], and published on the game's website on May 26, 2025. The update was released on the next day, May 27, 2025.

For the Nitro Summer Fest Season, the Season Preview was unveiled by the official creators on June 21, 2025, including Tune, Race, Repeat![7], Nox Fury[8], LokeshG[9], GamingWithAwesome[10], SEFYA[11] and BRAYAN171[12]. The article of the Season Preview was published on June 22, 2025.

Bugs & Errors

Active

  • Players who purchased the Daily or Multiplayer Passes are treated as purchasing the Overclock pass.[18][19]
  • On Windows, in a Team pursuit match, during the waiting for players screen, pressing shift would direct the player to a different camera mode, similar to the free camera when watching a race replay.
  • The engine cover part on the Volkswagen XL Sport Concept has been moved from its usual position to the car's underside at an unusual angle.

Fixed

  • During the first hours of the Formula E Gen3 Evo Team Showdown, no Solo Rewards were available despite the "Solo Rewards" tab being included.
    • This was fixed on May 29, with the "Solo Rewards" tab being removed.
  • One of the goals for the Dragon Boat Festival required the player to do 9 Barrel Rolls, which is impossible given the number of ramps.
    • This was fixed a few days later with the number of Barrel Rolls was changed to 7.
  • On June 4, 2025, a hotfix was launched for all platforms (except MacOS and Nintendo Switch) and June 11, 2025 for MacOS and Nintendo Switch, fixing the following bugs & errors:
    • Gauntlet crashes;
    • Incorrect physics on ramps;
    • Overclock Chips Overclock Chips section in the Inventory displays the placeholder "Lorem ipsum" text block;
    • Incorrect notifications in the Garage and Daily Events;
    • For Steam version, the text of the "PERFORM NITRO TIME BY RACING IN SPECIAL EVENTS" missions of the Sonic Pass not being shown.
  • On the first 6 days of the Pinnacle of Speed Legend Pass Showcase, one of the conditions in the Solo Rewards section required the player to finish the race under 01:09s, which was hard to achieve for most players.
    • This was changed to 01:15s a day later.
    • At the same time, one of the conditions in the Club Rewards section required the player to finish the race under 01:08s, which was hard to achieve for most players.
      • This was also changed to 01:14s a day later.
  • "Claim" button in the Daily Event tab is always displayed even if the player hasn't purchased the Event Pass.
    • This was fixed on June 12, 2025.
  • The thumbnail of the Bugatti Mistral's Seasonal Revving was erroneously displayed as "Bugatti Mistral: Bugatti Mistral". This lasted until the conclusion of the event.
  • The Rimac Nevera Time Attack Special Hunt was restarted due to technical issues[20]:
    • In Stage 4, one of the conditions required the player to do Perfect Runs: 18000, which is impossible to perform.

    • This was fixed 1 hour later.
