Hustle by day and risk it all by night in Need for Speed™ Heat, now available in The Vault for EA Access* and Origin Access Basic* subscribers. Compete in daytime events for cash and earn Rep in illicit street races as the sun sets in Palm City.

Here are five reasons why you should enter the street racer’s paradise in Need for Speed™ Heat right now:

1. Deep Car Customization

Choosing from a passionately curated car list is only the beginning. Customizing their performance and looks to your own unique taste is where the real fun is at. Build the perfect high-octane, anything-goes street-racing-machine and let everyone in Palm City’s underground scene know who you are.

2. Varied Day and Night Gameplay

Daytime in Palm City means Speedhunter Showdown events, where you can earn Bank by racing, drifting, and off-roading. As you hit the neon-lit streets at night, it’s time to build your underground Rep. Just keep your distance from the local authorities, or you’ll risk losing it all.

3. Exhilarating Cop Chases

Speaking of the PCPD: escaping them is its own artform. In daylight, you’ll have to really go out of your way to rile up the patrolling cops. But the lines of the law fade as darkness falls, and a rogue task force will use any means necessary to take you down at nighttime.

4. A Vibrant Story…

Personalize your own character in a vibrant story and explore Palm City’s street racing scene, guided by the Rivera family. Lieutenant Mercer, head of Palm City’s newly formed High-Speed Task Force, will be hot on your heels and happily bend the rules for his own gain.

5. … in a Beautiful World

Tear up the blazing hot streets of Palm City. Get the urban vibes in the downtown district, drift between lavish houses in the ‘burbs, and take the scenic route in the countryside. The world of Need for Speed Heat is vast and beautiful, so check out the map before you ignite the engine.
