Need For Speed Heat Now Available Worldwide

Who’s ready to feel the heat? Need For Speed Heat, the latest in the NFS series, is finally out there! What can we expect this time?

In the Miami-inspired community of Palm City, you’ll be racing through downtown cityscapes and beautiful beaches while you try to dodge the law enforcement that’s unappreciative of your activities. By day, you’ll compete in a daytime competition called the Speedhunters Showdown, where you can earn cash to buy new cars and trick out the ones you already own. At night, you’ll race for Rep in an underground tournament.

An electric hybrid vehicle appears for the first time in the NFS series — the Polestar 1. This incarnation also boasts the most involved customization options the series has ever offered, including the introduction of character customization — 12 preset avatars are available, and you can dress them up with authentic branded clothing.

“At its core Need for Speed is about custom rides, adrenaline-filled races with cops and without them and showcasing the latest in car customization. With Need for Speed Heat we’ve dialed those core tenants up and dropped them into a vibrant new world,” said Riley Cooper, Creative Director at Ghost Games. “Heat offers two firsts for the series including a unique day and night cycle that offers players two ways to play, and customizable avatars so they can express themselves beyond just their wheels.”

Need For Speed Heat is available now for Playstation 4, XBox One and PC.
