That quarter-mile of free Need For Speed updates is quickly drawing to a close, as Ghost Games prepares to move onto their next project.

Last's year's Need for Speed reboot is on its way to PC. Here's the sort of hardware you'll need to get your motor running.

Here’s one thing that I have yet to see in Need For Speed however: Micro-transactions. EA games have been notoriously riddled in the past with those payment options, nickel and diming players for ever scrap of coin that they possibly could. So it’s delightfully refreshing to see none of that in Need For Speed. And that’s an idea that developer Ghost Games intends to maintain.

Need for Speed is back! After a year’s hiatus, EA’s annual racer is back, doing all it can to bring the series back to the flashy, street racing roots of one of its most successful and beloved series; Underground. Does it succeed?

Need for Speed is trying to go back to its roots this year. Here's 20 minutes of the game, showing the cheesy FMV, a bit of customisation, and the open road.

Need for Speed might be racing onto consoles later this year, but it's hit a bit of a speed bump on the road to arriving on PC.

Having too many Need For Speed games may not have done the franchise any favours, which has resulted in a break for the series since 2013. Which has now given birth to a new entry in the series, full of stomach-turning dutch angles.

One annual game that you won’t see this year? Need For Speed, as that franchise is taking a break from the 2014 hustle and bustle.
