All games in the Need for Speed series

Need for Speed Game Series

Need for Speed is one of the most famous racing simulator series, with the first game released back in 1994, and it is also the most successful franchise in the racing genre.

Need for Speed became very popular starting with Need for Speed: Underground, as it threw players into street racing conditions with police chases, three new modes, and a strong emphasis on tuning, which fans loved.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted also performed well, however, its remaster, which was released instead of a sequel, greatly disappointed gamers who were waiting for a continuation.

This list includes all racing simulators in the Need for Speed series, regardless of the year of release. Almost all of them are arcade racing games, although sometimes fans are even given some semblance of a storyline and very deep customization.
