Poco F1 Users Unable to Download Asphalt 9, Recent OTA Likely to be Blamed

A few hours ago, Pocophone rolled out thefirst OTA to Poco F1. While the update has brought noticeable performance changes and July’s security patch, itappears to have blocked the pathwayfor downloading one of the most popular games on the Google Play Store.

Many of our readers reached out to us, informing us that they are unable to downloadAsphalt 9: Legendson their newly purchased Poco F1. At first, I found this hard to believe as Asphalt 9 has been among the games that I tested thesmartphone’s gaming performanceon.

Surprisingly,Asphalt 9 does not show up on the Google Play Store anymorewhen searched from a Poco F1. Moreover, looking up for the game on the Play Store shows an error message, claiming that Asphalt 9 is not compatible with the smartphone as you can see in the image below.

Well, this is a deal breaker for many users who showedimmense supportfor Xiaomi’s new experiment with flagship pricing. Despite great hardware that can run almost every game with a breeze and that toowithout letting the system heat up, users have been locked out from playing the mind-gripping game.

I am exactly not sure what is to blame for this issue butthe only culprit which I can see is the recently pushed software update. This is becauseI have had Asphalt 9 installed on the Poco F1 for a weekand have had a seamless experience while playing the game.

We’ve reached out to Pocophone/Xiaomi and Gameloft to help you resolve the issue as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I must inform you that members of our team have witnessed a similar issue onHuawei P20 Pro,Nova 3, andAsus Zenfone 5Z. While thefirst two devices received support in a matter of few days, Zenfone 5Z still gets an error message.

For now, there are two solutions – you can either wait patiently for the game or download the latest version of Asphalt 9 fromthis link. Meanwhile, you can get back to us, sharing the version of MIUI so that we can relate this with the recent update.
