Which Need for Speed game was developed by Ghost Games and released in 2019?

Need for Speed: Heat was the Need for Speed game developed by Ghost Games and released in 2019.

Electronic Arts released Heat on November 8, 2019, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows. It was Ghost Games’ fourth main Need for Speed project after Rivals, the 2015 reboot, and Payback. The game is set in Palm City, a fictionalized coastal city where legal daytime events contrast with illegal nighttime races.

That day-and-night structure is the game’s defining idea. Day events earn Bank for buying cars and upgrades, while night races build Rep but increase police attention. The police pursuit system also introduced escalating heat levels, making nighttime progression riskier. Heat is sometimes confused with the 2015 Need for Speed reboot because both emphasize open-world street racing and customization, but they are separate releases with different settings, stories, and progression systems.
