Feel the rush of street racing in Need for Speed Heat, an open-world racer where you build your dream garage and rule Palm City. Dominate sanctioned events by day to grow your bank, then risk it all at night for reputation as the police clamp down and your heat rises. Master responsive handling, unleash nitrous, and fine-tune every ride with deep performance tuning and bold visual customization. Sprint, circuit, drift, and off-road events, dynamic day-night play, and crew competition create a high-stakes, endlessly replayable racing fantasy.
Race in daytime events to earn bank and unlock car parts and new events. Switch to night to chase reputation, where higher heat means tougher cops but bigger rewards. Evade pursuits using smart lines, drifts, shortcuts, and nitrous, then reach a safehouse to bank your rep. Customize and tune cars with new engines, turbos, suspension, and tire setups to fit grip or drift styles. Explore Palm City for collectibles, challenges, and jump spots to boost progression and unlock cosmetics. Join or create a crew, compete online, and climb leaderboards to earn exclusive rewards and status.
