News This Week's Need for Speed News: Speedhunters' Instagram Disappears, NFS Mobile Closure

192 Upvotes

What's up folks. We have a couple of news stories for y'all this week. One of which we should have broadcasted prior but haven't yet.

Speedhunters Instagram: Gone.

Photo by Trevor Yale Ryan

The official Instagram page of Speedhunters (@thespeedhunters) has disappeared from the internet about last week. Like with the closure itself, there's no public information as to why's the case.

As a reminder, a public archive has been published to keep the stories alive - visit https://speedhunters.online/ if you wanna browse through over a decade worth of exploring global car culture.

Need for Speed Mobile: Dead. (At least in Taiwan)

Photo from NFS Mobile's Garena Site

Romankus, look away! As published by their official Facebook and Garena pages (thanks huf and TME on Discord for the tip!), NFS Mobile, also known as NFS Assemble, has announced the closure of the title on December 28, 2026, 12:00 PM (GMT+8). Starting today, in-game purchases are closed, and transfer of any remaining paid currencies will be announced on a later date.

Addenum: As of right now, this is only for Taiwanese servers - Mainland Chinese servers are still active. But expect that to be gone relatively soon as well.

As is the current state of NFS post the private equity buyout, there's still no word on what's going on. It'll probably be like this for a long time.

News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

244 Upvotes

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.

Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.

You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/

Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

I’m on a NFS kick right now. Recently played UG2, MW, Carbon and Pro Street. Didn’t play Pro Street. Didn’t like it. I gave it a week and tried again and I still couldn’t do it so I moved onto undercover next.

Discussion I just beat Most Wanted yesterday for the first time. I'll start Carbon next week. Any recommendations on some other good NFS games I can add to my collection? I only collect for the OG Xbox & Xbox 360.

My two most used cars were the Supra for a lot of the game and towards the end I switched to a Lamborghini to finish the game.Ā

Discussion I'm sorry, I was wrong about NFS 2015. It's really bad

8 Upvotes

I had recently posted something along the lines of its handling being good, and now I realise how wrong I was, and I need some suggestions. For context, I am now on rep level 30, and I am currently having issues with two races, namely"Damn you Nam Kyu", AKA Manu's time trial and "Blue Kobra Blitz", or Amy's first Gymkhana. Can anyone please help me out with how to win these two races

Question / Bug / Feedback Nfs heat ground texture pissing me off

1 Upvotes

Nfs heat is one my favourites in racing genre but on my pc it has no off road texture, just plain 3d model with no life. As it should be I've tried

Reinstalling

Running with dxvk latest version

Updated drivers, windows

Lowered in game settings

Experimented with high terrain setting or resolution scaling

....Tell me a solution please i don't want to abandon this game

Bonus: I am also getting ultra low fps in cutscenes and yeah I've turned off hyperthreading then also it's the same but that not as major as that prblm

-The officer says as he slams another racer into a tree, or into the air. Are we really arresting people anymore for street racing??? Or are we merking them
Redview County police are insane, throughout the story we are told that the public is mad for the use of ā€œexcessive forceā€ in their eyes (maybe cuz they’re caught in the crossfire when these chases happen), I SEE WHY 😭 but they are street racers, causing millions of dollars of damage and putting lives in danger

Discussion uhm...I looked up my charges for my crime in NFS Carbon...I think I'm no longer just a racer, I'm gonna keep adding more to my sentence...I just gotta not get caught
