Overview

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a 2012 racing game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts. Most Wanted is the nineteenth title in the Need for Speed series and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, iOS and Android, beginning in North America in 2012. A Wii U version, under the title Need for Speed: Most Wanted U, was released in 2013. Like its predecessor, 2010's Hot Pursuit, the game is a revival of the original 2005 Most Wanted title.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted received positive reviews, which focused on the world map that blended the styles of previous Burnout and Need for Speed games, and the social features, while criticism fell on the single-player mode. The game has won several awards, including the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards for Best Driving Game and Racing Game of the Year at the 16th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards; it was also nominated for Best British Game and Best Online Multiplayer at the 2013 BAFTA Awards. Need for Speed: Most Wanted has also been recognized as the best driving/racing game of 2012 by several outlets.

Most Wanted would be the last game in franchise to have Criterion as the lead studio until 2022's Need for Speed Unbound.
