How to Play 2 Player Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a long-time Need for Speed fanatic with over 1500 hours drifting through these streets, I live for the adrenaline fueled rush of multiplayer races and cop chases. So when I souped up Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered and saw full crossplay support added, I knew it was time to unleash some serious online mayhem. Here’s your inside line on mastering the remastered multiplayer modes to leave your friends in the dust!

Over 9000 Ways to Play

Get this – across platforms, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered serves up a staggering 63 different multiplayer race setups. From classic Lap Knockout and Point-to-Point sprints to hardcore Hot Pursuit showdowns, the possibilities are nearly endless. And with the option to take on the cop career path and call in roadblocks against racers, no two multiplayer madnesses will ever play out the same!

Gather Your Crew for Private Takeovers

While open matchmaking is awesome for mixing it up with random racers, the best way to get strategic is by creating your own Private matches. Here you can tweak all settings like tracks, time of day, traffic levels and more to your liking. Then use the new crossplay invite system to call out up to 15 friends to join in the custom chaos – no matter whether they game on PC, PlayStation or Xbox.

Platform Differences to Note

While crossplay now bridges the multiplayer gap between platforms, some differences remain:

  • PC players can access 4K 60fps races
  • PS5 and Xbox Series X/S allow up to 16 players per race
  • PS4 and Xbox One max out at 12 and 8 players respectively

So try rounding up a full lobby on the latest consoles for maximum rivalry and destruction!

Progression Carries to Multiplayer Glory

Scoring Bounty in the lengthy single player career isn’t just for show – all vehicles, upgrades and devastating weapons you unlock there carry right over to multiplayer. This lets you customize your ride’s performance for your precise racing style. Pro tip: max out your car’s durability for intense cop battles!

After hundreds of hours of multiplayer madness across the Need for Speed series, here are my top tips for coming out on top whether you decide to channel your inner Vin Diesel or gone rogue robocop:
