Game Description
Need for Speed: Rivals takes the adrenaline-fueled rivalry between street racers and law enforcement to the next level, delivering high-speed showdowns across the expansive open roads of Redview County. Released late in the Xbox 360’s life cycle, the game combines exotic cars, cinematic pursuits, and dramatic crashes with a seamless structure where every race feels unpredictable and intense. Whether you’re an outlaw evading capture or a cop determined to shut down illegal racing, the action never slows down.
Featuring a robust roster of licensed supercars, Rivals lets players experience the thrill of speed in a variety of conditions, from mountain switchbacks to desert highways. Racers focus on risk and reward, pushing limits for points and notoriety, while police units bring powerful pursuit vehicles and advanced technology to hunt them down. Dynamic weather and time-of-day effects add extra layers of challenge, making every chase unique.
As one of the final Need for Speed titles released for Xbox 360, Rivals represents a bold attempt to unify the franchise’s classic cops-and-racers formula with modern, large-scale presentation. It stands as both a showcase of the series’ enduring appeal and a collector’s snapshot of the transition between gaming generations.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Need for Speed: Rivals released in 2013 as a cross-generation title, arriving on Xbox 360 just as the Xbox One launched. It received praise for its fast-paced racing, high-quality visuals, and the sense of constant tension between racers and cops. The dynamic weather system and seamless transition between racing and pursuit helped set it apart from earlier entries.
Developed by Ghost Games in collaboration with Criterion veterans, Rivals was the first Need for Speed entry built on the Frostbite 3 engine, giving it a polished, cinematic presentation. For collectors, it stands out not only as a strong late-era racer on Xbox 360 but also as the beginning of Ghost Games’ stewardship of the franchise, making it historically important within the long-running series.
