Gamers Bid Farewell to Need for Speed Rivals — EA Shuts Down the Racing Game’s Servers
Need for Speed: Rivals captivated fans for many years.
Support for Need for Speed: Rivals’ online features has recently ended. Electronic Arts took the servers offline, and players bid farewell to the beloved title:
- keyur14: “Need for Speed Rivals’ online functions are shut down. It’s sad to part with you, friend — we’ll always miss you.”
- 4ndrius: “Glad I managed to snag the platinum recently. The game was outstanding — the speed and visuals were breathtaking, even if consoles capped out at 30 FPS.”
- Oxyyygen: “THE END OF AN ERA”
Some hope the community will now step in to revive Need for Speed: Rivals with a fan-run server.
