Gameloft, the renowned developer behind hit mobile and console titles, has officially launched the Switch 2 Edition of its acclaimed free-to-play arcade racing game, Asphalt Legends, on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The release marks a significant visual and performance upgrade for Nintendo’s next-generation hybrid console, further expanding the Switch 2’s library of high-octane racing experiences available via the eShop. According to official information published on Nintendo’s website, the Switch 2 Edition of Asphalt Legends elevates the in-game visuals to new heights.
Players can enjoy a resolution boost, with the game running at 1440p in docked television mode and 1080p in handheld mode.
Accompanying this attention to visual detail is a consistent 60 frames per second frame rate across both play modes, a feature especially valued by arcade racing enthusiasts seeking smooth and responsive gameplay.
Enhanced visual effects have also been integrated, making Asphalt Legends on Switch 2 one of the most visually impressive free-to-play racers currently available on the platform. A statement from the developer describes the upgrade as an opportunity for players to compete in intense arcade races, now complemented by higher resolutions, stabilized frame rates, and improved visual fidelity specifically optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 system.
All these enhancements come at no extra cost—the new Switch 2 Edition is available as a free update for existing players and remains entirely free-to-play for newcomers on Nintendo’s latest hardware. The rollout of Asphalt Legends Switch 2 Edition aligns with Gameloft’s ongoing commitment to support Nintendo’s current-gen ecosystem.
Following a recent announcement regarding a forthcoming Switch 2 Edition update for Disney Dreamlight Valley, it’s evident that Gameloft is investing in optimizing its leading titles for enhanced performance and visual quality on the upgraded console.
Asphalt Legends continues to build on its legacy, having already achieved millions of downloads worldwide and establishing itself as a go-to arcade racer across multiple platforms. The Switch 2’s bolstering of its racing genre lineup comes at an opportune time, as Gear.Club Unlimited 3, developed by Eden Games, is also set to launch on the system later this week.
These developments emphasize the platform’s growing appeal for racing fans and highlight Nintendo’s strategy to offer a widened array of genres on both the eShop and through digital events such as Nintendo Direct. Players eager for adrenaline-fueled action can now download Asphalt Legends Switch 2 Edition from the Nintendo eShop, taking full advantage of the new hardware’s capabilities, whether at home or on the go.
