One of PlayStation 3's best arcade racers is Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, the Criterion-developed cops n' robbers game. Released back in 2010, it's also one of the better games in the franchise, which has been pretty lacklustre for the entire PS4 generation. It was rumoured not too long ago that Hot Pursuit may be making a comeback, though, by way of a remaster. VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb reckons a re-release is boosting our way, and some new evidence suggests he's right.
A product listing on Amazon UK has appeared for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. The page looks like a placeholder for now, with no images and just Nintendo Switch and Xbox One formats listed. Don't worry, this will hit PS4 if it's real. With the game now up for pre-order on the retail site, it seems the game is all but confirmed at this point. The product page also suggests the game will cost £34.99, and will release on 13th November 2020 -- a Friday.
All eyes are now on EA to announce the darn thing. With the remaster appearing on retailers, we imagine an official announcement won't be too far away. Hey, maybe the publisher will announce the Hot Pursuit remaster alongside the Mass Effect Trilogy one; probably wishful thinking, but you never know.

13th november? that is rather close to the release of next gen consoles i bet. could i smell a cross gen release?
@jdv95 Haha a cross gen release of a last gen game. Awesome. Not. IMO while NFS-HP may have been one of the best on the PS3 it still doesn't match the greatness of the PS2 era with Hot Pursuit, both Underground, Most Wanted and even Carbon. IMO they need to ditch the stupid storylines and just give us racing. And customization.
I absolutely loved that game, even with all the PS5 goodness that will be doing the rounds, I will be hard pushed to ignore this remaster.
Hopefully for Switch fans that 34.99 price holds true for them and EA doesn't pull a Burnout Paradise again.
By far the best Need for Speed game ever. Would gladly play it again
Just go back to basics, NFS used to be so good. Rockstar stop messing around and bring back Midnight club the dub edition on PS2, can never remember what it was called.
I loved hot pursuit on the PS1and this as well. I’ll definitely pick this up.
Whole world begs EA for Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster...
EA: Here, have NFS Hot Pursuit
The game is already out on ps4, isn't it? I'm sure i payed £4 for it on ps store not too long ago.
@Loftimus no, it hasn't been released on the ps4 before.
This was the next best thing to Burnout 3 Takedown. I’m all for this remaster.
screams like a school girl eek! This is a bomber suprise! Day one purchase, love this game!
@jdv95 that would be mind blowing if true! 🤯
I haven't played a Need For Speed in years now as the last one I thought was terrible.But this news excites me a LOT.This game was absolutely fantastic and this is one remaster that I would buy Day One!
I only see switch and Xbox one on the Amazon listing, there is nothing for PS4 yet? 🤔
This would be great! Fingers crossed that this remaster is more than a simple increase in resolution.
@huyi happens all the time on Amazon. There is 0 percent chance they wouldn't release this on the ps4 as well if it is indeed coming.
Nope,, November will be all about PS5 and new PS5 games for me. CyberPunk comes November 19th!!
@redd214 which ps4 nfs can you be the pOlice then? I've got that one.
@Loftimus NFS Rivals. (BTW, If someone would like to tick 2 online trohpies in this game msg me)
As a remaster, I wonder if this will be added to EA Access (or EA Play by then) on release.
That would be great. Hot Pursuit is the best NFS game and I’d love to play it dynamic of being both sides on PS4.
I swear I’ve heard more news about potential Hot Pursuit and Mass Effect remasters than the PS5. Either EA are awful at keeping secrets or some rumourmonger is very very bored.
These remasters are cool but I'm concerned at EA's silence on this. Because as much as I want a Mass Effect remaster the last thing we want is a Mafia 2 revisited.
How about remaking Burnout Revenge or Burnout Takedown.. Hot Pursuit is definitely up there but I wanna destroy things
Should also remaster
Most Wanted (razor in it)
Underground 1 and 2
Carbon (I Liked it but remove online mode)
And please please please Burnour Revenge it was the best Burnout ever
Burnout 3 needs a remaster
@RIGORR_MORTIS revenge too 😎
As much as I love hot pursuit 2010, it being my fav NFS game, it's only 10 years old. Does it really need a remaster already? I feel like they'd be way better off remaking underground or most wanted 2005, or making a new game, because I played hot pursuit again just 4 months ago and the graphics have aged beautifully. Seems a little weird to me
Yeah Underground was definitely better I also loved The Midnight Club
Great, this NFS has been the best and my favorites since the beginning of *** Underground era; Although with certain details that I have not liked at all (cough cough very limited single player game cough cough)
Now I hope that one day, a Remake or Remaster of the classics (1994-2002)
The good old days when EA made games not slot machines. Think this was the last good NFS, it's the last one I bought and played at least. Not good enough to pull me back into the franchise 10 years later though.
