Need for Speed World Hits A Million, Goes Free & Gives Goodies
The racing MMO has hit a million registered users, and EA and developer Black Box are celebrating by letting people play it for free.
Of course, you can give yourself a boost by paying for premium content like power-ups and rental cars, but that's up to you. The game's free portion was previously capped at level 10. For those who've already bought the starter pack, you'll get a three free coupons good for seven-day rentals of the BMW M3 GTR, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, and the Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro.
The game has no plans of slowing down, as the developer has also announced that new content is coming soon. Need for Speed World players can expect a co-op pursuit mode called Team Escape, more cars, a new areas (including a full day/night cycle), community leaderboards, and performance customization options.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
