Need for Speed: Heat system requirements

Need for Speed: Heat is demanding: it asks for 16 GB of RAM and 50 GB of storage, so a mid-range 2023 PC will be working hard.

Need for Speed: Heat asks for more RAM than 73% of Racing games.

The median Racing game asks for 4 GB of RAM.

Hustle by day and risk it all at night in Need for Speed Heat, a white-knuckle street racer, where the lines of the law fade as the sun starts to set. By day, Palm City hosts the Speedhunter Showdown, a sanctioned competition where you earn Bank to customize and upgrade your high-performance cars. At night, ramp up the intensity in illicit street races that build your reputation, getting you access to bigger races and better parts. But stay ready – cops are waiting and not all of them play fair.
