Asphalt 8: Airborne goes free to play on Android [Updated]

Gameloft’s 8th game in the racing franchise Asphalt, has dropped it’s price tag.

You know what that means, Asphalt 8: Airborne is free to download.

What it really means, well free-to-play. Personally I don’t find the IAPs in the game to be mandatory, I bought the game when it came out and was very impressed with the graphics and the gameplay.

Here is what they have posted at their official forum:

The Android update is coming super soon and the Asphalt 8 is also FREE on Google Play! http://gmlft.co/Asphalt8AirborneAndroid
Stay tuned!

The update is expected to bring the Clio R.S, time limited cups, customizable controls and more including new cars which will appear randomly.

Now there is absolutely no excuse not to play Asphalt 8, is there?

So what are you waiting for, go hit the download button on the Play Store.
