The open-world action in Need for Speed Most Wanted gives you the freedom to drive your way. Hit jumps and shortcuts, switch cars, lie low or head for terrain that plays to your vehicle’s unique strengths. Fight your way past cops and rivals using skill, high-end car tech and tons of nitrous.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

bloody love this game, brings back nostalgia and love the strange police cutscenes, i dont get the overall hate for this need for speed game not being at a general level with the others and genuinely has a unique experience and classic features
bellissimo gioco, sarebbe bello se mettessero su steam anche il primo most wanted, sarebbe bellissimo giocarci da pc

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 24: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Se que es un juego antiguo y que esta reseña a estas alturas no importará mucho pero, vaya porquería de juego pero de las gordas, el peor tiempo invertido jugando a videojuegos de mi vida. He jugado a cosas malas pero, como esta bazofia ninguna. Coches... se acabo el juego. Mapa mal hecho, los gráficos dejan que desear bastante, coches incontrolables, no se puede modificar nada de la estabilidad cuando en 2005 si se podía que es que todavía estoy flipando. Los planos de imagen no se cuantos he contado que te dejan ciego y más fácil el nivel de dificultad imposible, el mapa una porquería es siempre el mismo y eso de mejorar casi el 90 por ciento de los coches con las mismas carreras no me lo explico. El juego se creó literalmente porque necesitaban pagar facturas... Es una pena que se manche un título como este de esta forma.
Один из худших NFS по моему мнению. Плюсы: Неплохая графика даже на момент 2026 года, хороший саундтрек, сильно приближенные звуки двигателей машин к реальным их прототипам, отличная оптимизация. На этом плюсы заканчиваются... Минусы: отвратительнейшая физика машин, копы появляются прямо перед лицом (это было практически во всех NFS,но тем не менее), особенно когда ты уже почти скрылся, машину постоянно магнитит то в стены, то в трафик, периодический инпут лаг, скудный набор трасс, отсутствие сюжета ПОЛНОСТЬЮ (развлекай себя сам как хочешь). Хотите поиграть в нормальный NFS купите тот же Unbound, а если хочется чего то старого или вайбовово Underground, MW 2005 или NFS 2016 вам в помощь. MW 2012 4/10.
