The top games have a lot in common. Every one is free to download and has in-app purchases. Google Play installs run from 50 million to 1 billion, and Google Play ratings fall between 4.3 and 4.7.

Gameloft SE's Asphalt 8 is an arcade racer whose description lists licensed cars and motorbikes, many tracks and multiplayer races. It is free, with ads and in-app purchases.
Fingersoft's original has 1 billion installs on Google Play, the highest count in this list, and a 4.3 rating, the lowest of the ten. It is a physics-based uphill driving game that the developer says can be played offline. Ads and in-app purchases are present, including random-item purchases. Version 1.73.2 dates from October 29, 2026.
Traffic Rider from skgames puts you on a motorbike in a first-person view. It offers recorded bike sounds, day and night environments and a career mode. The version number changes by device.
Need for Speed No Limits from Electronic Arts is free to install from Google Play and includes in-game purchases and random items. The description centers on street racing, nitro and car tuning.
Drift Max Pro Car Racing Game from Tiramisu has the highest Google Play rating among these ten, 4.7, with 100 million installs. It covers drift racing, car tuning and multiplayer championships. It shows ads and in-app purchases. The version differs by device, and the last update was November 2, 2026.
None of them is an official Formula 1 game. The games cover street racing, drag racing, kart racing, motorbike riding and drifting. If you want licensed Formula 1 content, check the developer and store page before installing.
Need for Speed No Limits from Electronic Arts is the only entry listed without ads in this category. It still includes in-game purchases and random items, and the price is listed as 0.
The order follows no fixed ranking rule. Installs do not decide it: Asphalt 8 comes first with 500 million installs on Google Play, while Hill Climb Racing, with 1 billion, comes second. Treat the order as a starting point and compare ratings, update dates and monetization yourself.
Before installing, check the update date shown on each game's Google Play page, since the gap between entries can be large. Every game here has in-app purchases. Fingersoft notes for both Hill Climb Racing titles that purchases can be disabled in your device settings, which is worth doing if a child will play. Compare the games on the details they show rather than on a single grade.
