Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered (Nintendo Switch)

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is a racing game for Nintendo Switch, published by Electronic Arts and released in November 2020. Its premise is carried in the name: this is a pursuit-driven racer, and the remaster puts that chase on a physical game card for Switch. It is rated PEGI 7 and lists support for up to 8 players.

Reigniting the pursuit

The tagline for this release is simply to reignite the pursuit, and that tells you what to expect. Racing here is not only about crossing the line first. It is built around the push and pull between those who race and those who chase.

As a remaster, it brings an existing Need for Speed title to Nintendo Switch, with the focus on high-speed driving rather than a long story.

A PEGI 7 rating makes it a reasonable pick for younger racing fans, and the player count of up to 8 means it is not limited to solo sessions. Racers against pursuers is what the game is about.

Why choose the Nintendo Switch version

This is the Nintendo Switch edition, supplied as a physical game card. The listing supports up to 8 players, which makes it worth a look if you want a racer to share rather than only play alone.

Languages include English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. Arabic is not listed for this title, so check that before you buy if Arabic text matters to you.

The edition is the Standard release with no extra bundled content listed, so what you get is the remastered game itself on a single game card. Because it is a physical copy, it can sit on the shelf, be lent to a friend or be kept in a collection like any other boxed Switch game.
