Asphalt: Unlimited (2016) (Wii U/PC/J2ME/Vita/X360/PS3/3DS/iOS/Android/XONE/PS4)

Asphalt: Unlimited (released in Europe as Asphalt: Velocity) is an arcade racing video game developed by Mojang Las Vegas and published by Renderware Interactive for Wii U, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation Vita, XBOX 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and XBOX ONE. The game was released in April 2016 and was later released for OnLive in March 2017. In the game, players take part in a fictional reality television show, consisting of a variety of events, each focusing on destructible environments triggered remotely by driver actions known as "power plays".

Gameplay
In Split/Second, players take part in a fictional reality TV program where participants race for money and fame. Throughout a race, players can build up their "power play" meter by performing stunts, such as jumps and mid-air overtakes, and precision driving, such as drafting opponents and drifting. As players build up their meter, special events can be triggered, which create obstacles for other players, open up temporary shortcuts, or alter an entire section of the racecourse. These triggers are also activated by the AI opponents.

Such events range from shockwave-inducing explosions to buckling highways and dam breaches. The severity of the events available to trigger varies depending on how full the player's meter is. The Level 1 events become available when one or two of the three segments of the bar are full, while the Level 2 events can only be triggered upon a full bar. Event locations, and the vehicles they will affect, are highlighted with blue icons for the level one power plays, and red icons for level two, and the player must time the action accurately in order to hinder the opposition as much as possible. The power play meter is used up by one segment once a level one event is triggered, so the player must also choose whether to activate the less destructive first-level events as soon as they are available, or save the power play energy and build it up further in order to trigger the top-tier actions.

There are also certain power plays that can be reused, such as explosives dropped from helicopters, exploding tanker trucks, and shortcuts, but some other power plays are permanent and can only be used once in a single race. Black Rock Studio also wanted to make the HUD as simple as possible by taking away all unnecessary elements such as the speedometer and the track map (rendered useless due to the dynamic nature of the track) leaving only the lap count, the position that the player is in, and the power play meter, all positioned behind the player's car to avoid detracting from the scenery.

The game also has a multiplayer mode, with both 8-player online and 2-player split-screen offline available. There are 15 tracks in the standard game, most of which are located in a lifesize set of a city (shown under construction in the tutorial). Two tracks could be acquired as downloadable content.

Downloadable content
A "time savers" DLC pack was released upon the game's launch, which unlocks all cars, tracks and modes without the player having to unlock them by playing through the game's "Season" mode.

The "High Octane Supercar" pack was released on June 25th, 2016 as paid DLC, featuring the Koeninsegg Agera, the Chevrolet Corvette C5, and the Lamborghini Huracan. In addition, the Elite Vehicle Livery and Chevrolet Corvette C5 Special (a stronger, upgraded version of a standard car) packs were released for free.

The next paid download was released as the "Survival at the Rock" pack and included a new Survival mode track (Minepit Park) and a new multiplayer-only mode (Survival Race; a racing variant of the Survival mode). It was released on 12 October.

The final known pack is the "Quarry Onslaught" pack, released to Xbox One Marketplace, Wii U eShop & PlayStation Store on November 2nd 2016. Included with this pack are the "Quarry" race course and the "Onslaught" game type. During an Onslaught event, racers are challenged to pull ahead of the competition while the helicopter fires missiles onto the track. Points are awarded based on how close to the front racers are, and the game will end after twenty missile waves.

All the downloadable content, with the exception of the two free addons, is available in Europe as part of the "Ultimate Edition", a complete bundle that also includes the digital version of the game.

Steam version
As part of Renderware Interactive's new offering on Steam in late 2020, Asphalt: Unlimited was included alongside other titles such as Emergency 4. This version of the game does not have support for online multiplayer matchmaking, but virtual private network services can be used to facilitate online connections through the game's LAN features. There are also game cards and badges from Asphalt: Unlimited that can be earned.

iOS/Android version
The iOS/Android version was released on December 17th, 2016, with porting and development duties handled by Black Katana Studios. The iOS/Android version of the game features, among other changes, an extra track based on the "Docks" environment. The track (simply called "The Docks") is a composite course that takes the drivers through areas from each of the three other Docks environment courses (Dry Docks, Ferry Wharf, and Port Bridge) in a single lap. The iOS/Android version also adds new gameplay modes that offer variants on the core game (such as drifting around the training course to earn points). It also offers some changes to the game itself, such as revamped physics to make driving easier on the iOS/Android. Subtle changes to track design, event rules, and car statistics were also made.

The iOS/Android version supports ad hoc multiplayer for up to four drivers.
