About the game

Buckle up, hit the gas and make trouble.

The open-world action in Need for Speed Most Wanted gives you the freedom to drive your way. Hit jumps and shortcuts, switch cars, lie low or head for terrain that plays to your vehicle’s unique strengths. Fight your way past cops and rivals using skill, high-end car tech and tons of nitrous. It’s all about you, your friends and a wild selection of cars. Let’s see what you can do.

Key Features:

Experience nonstop action. No menus, no lobbies and no restrictions – just intense competition. Race, battle, crash and explore at your own pace with a massive variety of things to do (and rewards to collect) throughout the open world.

Prove you’re the best. Pick a car jump into a nonstop playlist of competitive events in online mode. Influence the playlist by voting with your car. Jostle for position on the starting line. Cross the finish line and turn around to take out oncoming rivals.

Beat your friends. Autolog records everything you do, broadcasting a feed of your most newsworthy scores, speeds and times to your friends – and you’ll see there’s too. Whatever you do, there’s someone to beat.

Test your urban handling skills. Need for Speed Most Wanted delivers a deep, physical experience that showcases the personalities of awesome licensed cars. Experience insane speeds, spectacular crashes, aggressive driving and huge drifts.

CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS APPLY. SEE EA.COM/LEGAL FOR DETAILS.
