“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.”
In Need for Speed Heat, players can drive the hybrid-electric
performance, Polestar 1, for the first time ever, as well as some
of the most iconic car brands in the world. See the full list here.
The game also offers the deepest customization the series has ever
seen, including a range of options for both performance and style,
which gives players the tools they need to create their perfect
high-octane, anything-goes, dream car. Additionally, as another
first for the franchise, Need for Speed Heat features character
customization, giving players 12 preset avatars to choose from to
further adapt their own style. Clothing and accessories from PUMA,
Life’s a Beach, End Clothing and other well-known brands, ensure
that players will be going full throttle with the latest fashion
when they hit the streets of Palm City.
Need for Speed Heat also introduces players to a bright, new
urban environment that becomes a dangerous neon playground once the
sun sets. Taking inspiration from Miami – a vibrant city with a
multicultural blend of music, cool street art and stunning night
lights – Palm City is a street-racer’s paradise. Day and night are
at the core of progression in Need for Speed Heat. During the day,
players race in a series of sanctioned events to build Bank. At
night, they must engage in illicit racing to establish themselves
and reap extra Rep. When the sun goes down things heat up, but the
rewards are there for the fearless.
EA Access* and Origin Access* Basic subscribers can enjoy up to
10 hours of play time, along with 10% off the purchase of the full
game. Origin Access Premier subscribers get all the benefits of
Basic on top of full access to the game on PC for as long as they

Need for Speed Heat is rated T for Teen and is available
worldwide for the PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC for $59.99 USD.
