Need for Speed Rivals on Xbox One drops you into the ultimate street-racing showdown, where every corner hides a challenge and every pursuit tests your nerve. This edition tightens the action with a living open world, faster chases, and a social engine that keeps your skills in the spotlight long after you’ve booted up the console.

Why this version stands out

• Dual careers, single obsession: choose to race as a Racer or chase as a Cop. Each path unlocks unique cars, upgrades, and playstyles, letting you master risky shortcuts or precision takedowns in high-stakes pursuits.
• Open-world adrenaline: roam a dynamic, connected environment where time of day, traffic, and weather affect routes, boost zones, and your ability to outrun or corner with precision.
• Autolog-inspired competition: a built-in social core that pits your best times, routes, and challenges against friends. See how you stack up in real time and push each other to go faster.
• Deep customization: tailor performance, handling, and visuals to fit your style. Upgrade engines, tires, nitrous, and sliders for a ride that matches your reflexes and taste.
• Accessible yet deep multiplayer: jump into online races, time trials, and cops-and-racers showdowns with players around the world, all within the same living world you’re exploring solo.
• Next-gen feel on Xbox One: crisper visuals, smoother gameplay, and responsive handling that bring high-speed chases to life with more detail, better lighting, and more immersive crashes.

Who this is for

• Gamers who crave the pulse-pounding energy of arcade-inspired racing with real consequences and dramatic chases.
• Players who love customization and want a ride that mirrors their personality—both in performance and style.
• Friends who enjoy competitive play and chasing friends’ best times in a shared, evolving world.
