How to fix Need for Speed not working
Need for Speed is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach needforspeed.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Need for Speed.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Need for Speed is down: what to use instead
- EA app If only the website has trouble, the EA app can still launch installed PC games or manage downloads.
- Steam If your copy is on Steam, use your library there to start the game or check downloads without opening needforspeed.com.
- Forza Horizon Use it on Xbox or PC when you want open world racing while the service is having problems.
- Gran Turismo 7 Use it on PlayStation if you want circuit racing and already have the game installed.

Tip: Need for Speed doesn't list a public status page that we know of, so its help centre and the report chart on this page are the best places to check.
How we track Need for Speed
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Need for Speed, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Need for Speed, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Need for Speed doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
