* Anniversary Hunt (September 15 – X, 2020). 
On September 15, Gameloft started posting links for an "Anniversary Hunt" event throughout their social media channels. Opening such a link on an Android or iOS device that has Asphalt 8 installed grants one . Tickets stored in the inventory decrease the price of the Spkyer C8 Preliator Special Offer which started on the same day. Finding all 7 links will grant the car for free.
The Seventh Anniversary Hunt Tickets have a sale value of each which can be sold after receiving the car.
All Windows players receive an instant reward of —the combined sale value of all 7 tickets—and a set of 5-minute boosters as they are unable to participate in this event.
==Bugs / Glitches==
*Mazzanti Evantra Millecavalli Festival duration bug: Samsung users who downloaded the update via the Galaxy Store have the same Festival duration as iOS.
**This bug has been fixed and the festival duration was adjusted to match the delay of the Android release of the update.
*Multiplayer issue: A majority of Android users have reported being unable to play Multiplayer even with a strong Wi-Fi connection.
**This issue seems to be fixed by installing the 5.3.1a update.
*Limited music selection: The game menu only plays one track (The Commission / Breton) and in a race, there are only three music tracks of different genres (Holdin' On (Skrillex and Nero Remix) / MONSTA (Bass), Ares (Villains Remix) / Bloc Party (Rock) and Professional Griefers ft. Gerard Way / deadmau5 (Electronic)). It is only on the Orbital Loop and Terra 9 tracks that there is an additional music track available (Redline / DJ Gontran (Orbital Loop) and Bleach (Max Kommodor remix) / Krubb Wenkroist (Terra 9)).
*Missing Festival quests: For Android users who downloaded the update via the Galaxy Store and certain iOS users, the quests of days 4, 5, and 6 of the Mazzanti Evantra Millecavalli Festival do not appear with a blank page only being shown.
**This seems to be a festival duration synchronization issue with users who downloaded the game via the Google Play Store. (Android)
*Empty Events Menu: On Windows, the Events menu may show a "No Time-Limited Events available" message instead of showing a list of ongoing events, even if there are actually ongoing events running. A workaround for this bug is to access the events directly from the Calendar on the main menu. Restarting the app may also fix this issue.
*Loss of profile data: Several players have reported losing owned vehicles and upgrades while others have had their profiles be completely lost.
**Contacting Customer Care and providing the Gameloft ID will let them give restored data.
*Splash Screen Game Crash: On Windows, the game can crash immediately after the Gameloft 20th Anniversary splash screen is shown.
*The exclusive vehicles offer during October 16 - 29, 2020 disappeared after an hour it started, although the offer had a validity of 13 days. The offer came back again on October 19, 2020.
