Need for Speed: No Limits
Hardly any racing game series is as well-known as "Need for Speed". Of course, EA doesn't stop at the mobile platforms either, but has been racing into the App Store and the Play Store with various titles for many years.
The latest addition is "No Limits". Although the title is F2P, it offers the usual action-packed and above all fast-paced NfS arcade gameplay for on the go.

Asphalt 9
For many years now, the Asphalt series from Gameloft has been one of the best-known racing games for on the go - in the past on classic mobile phones, today on smartphones with iOS and Android.
In the meantime, we have arrived at the ninth and less demanding part of the series "Asphalt 9: Legends", where you have to concentrate on drifts and nitro. But especially the predecessor "Asphalt 8: Airborne" with free driving or the off-road offshoot "Asphalt Xtreme" offer adrenaline-fuelled racing game fun with different focuses. The download is always free with the newer titles.

F1 Mobile Racing
The official Formula 1 game also cuts a fine figure on Android and iOS devices. F1 Mobile Racing offers everything a fan's heart desires. You compete against the AI in full Grand Prix races, compete against other players in multiplayer and can even upgrade your car.
Currently, the mobile racing game is still based on the 2021 season, which found its world champion in Max Verstappen. But an update to the 2022 F1 season, including new cars and tracks, has already been announced.

After all, the mobile game knows how to convince with a gigantic scope with many real cars, various racing classes (including Formula 1) as well as race tracks such as Brands Hatch and Spa-Francorchamps. The only downside of the title with career and online racing are the in-app purchases.

Whether you play on the beach or on the bus - the title offers a lot of wet racing fun full of adrenaline and spectacular stunts for a purchase price of just over two euros.

The game thus perfectly bridges the gap between strategy and racing games.
