In recent years, many games have required online connections. Even 2015?s Need for Speed entry asked that players have an internet connection and be online. It appears Need for Speed Heat will feature no such requirement. Players who want to enjoy the new installment offline and by themselves will be able to do so at their leisure.
This news comes courtesy of Twinfinite, which recently sat down with NFS Heat?s producer and lead designer during gamescom 2019. When asked about offline options, they reportedly said that playing completely offline is an option. However, those who want to play online will also have options geared towards their preferred experience.
