Hustle by day and risk it all at night in Need for Speed Heat, a white-knuckle street racer, where the lines of the law fade as the sun starts to set. By day, Palm City hosts the Speedhunter Showdown, a sanctioned competition where you earn Bank to customize and upgrade your high-performance cars.

Drive the world's most popular cars in a mission to form a crew, stake your claim with Palm City's street-racing elites, and uncover a money-laundering conspiracy surrounding the police's High Speed Task Force, led by Lt. Frank Mercer. Get rich, get rolling…
