Recently Ghost Games, the dev team that’s currently putting together EA’s Need For Speed reboot, held a closed beta for the game to debug the online functions and make sure everything built up to that point was running smoothly.

EA Games has released the full soundtrack list for their upcoming Need For Speed reboot. There’s a lot here — 64 songs ranging from rock to rap to EDM (but no Taylor Swift, so I know you’ll be disappointed).

Electronic Arts and Ghost Games have released a new trailer hyping the impending release of their Need For Speed reboot.

Requiring an Internet connection to play a game that comes from a very offline disc is an unpopular decision that alienates a good chunk of paying gamers.
