About this Game
Need for Speed: Shift is a high-octane racing sim that delivers an authentic and immersive driving experience. Unlike the street-racing focus of earlier NFS titles, Shift emphasizes realism — both in handling and presentation.
With a cockpit view, aggressive AI, realistic physics, and licensed tracks, this entry leans more toward Gran Turismo and Forza fans, while still carrying the stylish flair of the NFS franchise.
Key Features:
- First-person cockpit view with driver head movement
- Realistic physics, handling, and crash damage
- Over 70 licensed cars and 15+ real-world tracks
- Deep career mode with XP-based progression
- Precision vs Aggression driving style system
- Full car customization, tuning, and upgrades
