Warnings
- This game requires a constant internet connection for all game modes.
Need for Speed is a singleplayer and multiplayer racing game developed by Ghost Games and published by Electronic Arts. It is the twenty-second entry [Note 1] in the Need for Speed series.
The game's story revolves around the unnamed player character and a small ragtag group of racers waiting to be noticed by any of the game's five icons. Unlike most games in the series, it requires constant internet connection for all of its game modes, and it cannot be paused regardless of the mode. Additional contents were added through mandatory game updates instead of DLC and microtransaction.[1]
It was released worldwide on March 15, 2016

Issues fixed
Map chunks fail to load on time / falling through the ground
- Many gamers still report this to be an unsolved issue[9]
- This issue is related to content streaming from hard drive and is likely to occur on slower hard drives.
- The issue may be avoided by allowing the game to use more RAM.[10]
