QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
When you’re receiving a new part in the garage, it’s now easier to spot. We removed the feed that showed your new items on the right side of the screen. Instead, there’s now a yellow banner saying “new” next to the category and the item.

They have added more variation to race intros, during both day and night races, as well as more victory celebration animations to enjoy when crossing the finish line.

Additional vanity items are introduced. You will be able to customize the color of the Backfire, and through the Black Market, you can also unlock Beat Sync underglows that will sync up with the in-game music.

For detailed information about the update, please visit the Official NFS: Heat Page and to purchase the game, please check EA Store Page for prices and additional details.
Happy Cruising!
