There are optional PDLC micro-transactions, but they aren't needed to simply enjoy the game. It costs only 99 cents, just like the iOS version. It looks like Gameloft (possibly with Microsoft’s input?) is serious about making sure Asphalt 7 sells, too.

The arrival of a hot game like Asphalt 7 (complete with online multiplayer) is wonderful news for Windows Phone 8. That’s actually very encouraging since the multiplayer features in games like Carcassonne have been terrible on the whole. But it does appear to operate with Gameloft’s own servers as opposed to Microsoft’s servers, so users will need to create their own Gameloft accounts to hop online. Since the game just came out and takes a fair bit of time to download, we haven’t been able to test its multiplayer in action yet.

That's how Asphalt Nitro was born, a game that brings together the best of its predecessor in an APK that weighs less than 30 MB. The guys at Gameloft have decided to get hold of their best racing game, Asphalt 8, and turn it into a lighter title, much more appropriate for low-end Android smartphones and tablets that don't have too many resources available.
