Need for Speed: Shift

Need for Speed: Shift is a racing game focused on the experience of driving high-performance cars. Its physics-based driving model conveys impacts, changes in track surface and loss of grip as you push toward the edge of control. Driver-perspective cockpit views combine with visual and audio effects to portray the force and intensity of racing.

Driving and crashes

A three-dimensional HUD mimics head movement, inertia and G-forces, while depth of field shifts toward the distance at high speeds, leaving the car and cockpit out of focus. When you hit a stationary object or another car, visual and audio effects simulate taking damage, disorienting you and briefly disrupting the race.

Career and driver profile

Your driver profile tracks your development from event to event through your on-track personality, success rate, profile points and badges. These elements shape a tailored career and gameplay experience, and the profile is used in both career and online modes.

Cars and customization

The game features nearly 70 licensed cars, including the Pagani Zonda F, Audi RS4 and Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. You can upgrade and tune each car’s performance, as well as customize its exterior and interior.

Race tracks

You race at more than 15 real-world locations, including Willow Springs and Laguna Seca, as well as fictional circuits in downtown London and Tokyo.
