Need for Speed

Overview

Need for Speed is a 2015 online racing video game developed by Ghost Games and published by Electronic Arts.

It is the twenty-second Need for Speed installment, and serves as a reboot of the franchise.

Need for Speed received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the game's visuals and customization but criticized it for being always-online with the inability to pause, which would also lead to performance issues on all platforms. The game was succeeded by Need for Speed Payback in 2017.
