Get the new Need for Speed on the cheap

One of the most anticipated sales of the year is running between February 2 and February 8, 2016. I am of course talking about the Xbox Store’s EA Publisher Sale which offers up to 60% off for multiple EA titles, including the most recent Need for Speed game. You know, the NFS reboot that EA released back in November and features 5 ways to play (which were inspired by real world car culture icons).

Visit the EA Publisher Sale on Xbox.com and you’ll see that Need for Speed is on sale. The regular version is offered for $24 instead of $59.99, and $19.80 for Gold members. The Need for Speed Deluxe Edition, which comes with extra in-game content, is offered for $28 instead of $69.99, and $23.10 for Gold members.



As mentioned above, Need for Speed features five ways to play. The following five different gameplay types:
  • Speed – keep your nerve, put the pedal to the medal, and feel the adrenaline rush as you drive at top speed.
  • Style – take a corner in style by precisely sliding your car sideways.
  • Build – make visual and performance modifications, improve and personalize your car.
  • Crew – don’t hit the streets on your own, ride with your crew.
  • Outlaw – enjoy the thrill of messing with cops, being chased, and evading your pursuers.
“We’re bringing in Five Ways to Play to ensure that your gameplay experience is all your own and helps propel your progression every second, every minute,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer at Ghost Games. “We want everyone to experience that perfect Need for Speed moment - driving insanely fast, sliding through a corner in your customized ride alongside your friends, whilst being chased by the cops.”



Need for Speed was released in November 2015 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The PC version is going to be released sometime this 2016. It’s one of many other games are going to be released this year.
