What to consider
Summarized by AINeed for Speed Heat fans want street racing with police on their tail and a city to cruise. These five stay in open-world racing: The Crew Motorfest and The Crew 2 are big multiplayer playgrounds, the two other Need for Speed games bring cop-and-racer rivalry, and Forza Horizon 5 swaps street racing for open roads in Mexico.
1. The Crew Motorfest
Best for racers who want varied car-culture themes in an arcade open world.
147 votes
Playlists and thematic campaigns celebrate different corners of car culture, including American muscle and Japanese-style street racing. Its arcade, sandbox and open-world structure is looser than Heat's day-and-night rhythm, with multiplayer on the map, so you can wander between themes at your own pace.
Standout features
- Themed playlists
- Car-culture campaigns
- Arcade sandbox driving
A road trip across the USA lets you tackle the American motorsports scene in an open world, with new modes, tracks and vehicles added every season. The massively-multiplayer tag means other players share the map, and it is a wider canvas than a single city.
Standout features
- Cross-USA open world
- Seasonal content additions
- Massively multiplayer racing
3. Need for Speed™
Best for street-racing fans who want to build a reputation and a dream car.
51 votes
Ventura Bay is the playground, a sprawling urban setting where you build your reputation and your dream car. Five distinct ways to win give the racing some variety. Pick it if Heat's street-racer climb is what appeals, in a different city.
Standout features
- Ventura Bay city
- Five ways to win
- Build your dream car
4. Forza Horizon 5
Best for drivers who want a huge car roster and a more sim-leaning open world.
258 votes
Mexico's open world is the arena, with hundreds of cars to drive and landscapes that keep evolving. It is a more car-sim take on open-world racing than Heat's cops-and-racers story, with a realistic, simulation-leaning approach and multiplayer.
Standout features
- Open-world Mexico
- Hundreds of cars
- Evolving landscapes
5. Need for Speed™ Rivals
Best for fans of the cop-versus-racer rivalry who accept the missing online servers.
34 votes
Cops against racers is the whole conflict, and you can play either side of the law in Redview County, each side with its own challenges and rewards. Online servers are no longer available, which matters for a game built around multiplayer and pvp.
Standout features
- Play cop or racer
- Redview County
- Combat-racing rivalry
