Free Xbox Game Is One of the Highest-Rated Games on the Microsoft Store of All-Time

by

Okay, so I’ve been playing this game on my Xbox, and it’s completely free! Seriously, it’s one of the highest-rated games ever on the Xbox Store, and the best-rated free-to-play game, hands down. It’s actually the 15th highest-rated game overall, which is crazy when you look at the company it keeps – stuff like Red Dead Redemption 2, Minecraft, The Witcher 3, and even the original Star Wars Battlefront II. But it’s not just a few people saying it’s good; over 300,000 players have reviewed it, and a whopping 92% of them give it a 4 or 5-star rating. That’s a lot of positive feedback!

The free Xbox game being discussed is Asphalt Legends, an arcade racer from Gameloft released in 2018. Free-to-play games often receive mixed reviews because players haven’t specifically chosen to download them – unlike purchased games where people usually do some research or are already fans of the series. Because of this, you won’t find any other free-to-play games among the highest-rated titles on the Xbox Store.

15th Highest-Rated Game on the Xbox Store of All Time

Released in 2018 but not available on Xbox until 2021, Asphalt Legends is the ninth game in the long-running Asphalt series, which began in 2004. It’s surprising to see its high rating on the Xbox Store, considering it received a respectable but not outstanding 74 on Metacritic. The positive reviews seem genuine, as there’s no evidence of fake accounts boosting the score. While the game has many reviews on other platforms like the PlayStation Store, its Xbox rating is significantly higher—even exceeding that of the highly praised Forza Horizon series. For some reason, this free-to-play racer has become particularly popular with Xbox players.

The racing game is free to download, but it relies on in-app purchases to make money. You can definitely enjoy the game without spending anything, especially if you play casually – which most people likely will. Dedicated players who want to progress quickly may find it repetitive if they don’t spend money, as is common with free-to-play games. Importantly, you don’t need an Xbox Game Pass subscription to play the game online.
