'''''Need for Speed Rivals''''' is a 2013 racing video game developed in a collaboration between Ghost Games and Criterion Games, and published by Electronic Arts. It is the twentieth installment in the Need for Speed series and the debut title for Ghost Games, who would be established as the primary developer of the series for all subsequent non-mobile installments up until 2020. Need for Speed Rivals is a racing game and features gameplay similar to earlier Need for Speed titles, such as Criterion's [[Need for Speed Most Wanted]] and [[Need for Speed Hot Pursuit]]. Rivals uses the Frostbite 3 engine. The development team opted to target 30 FPS across all platforms instead of 60 FPS, because of the AllDrive feature.
Players choose a faction Cop or Racer to start their own tasks. Players can switch between factions at a hideout (Racer) or a command post (Cop). Cops can choose different mission routes for patrolling, undercover, and law enforcement.
