Keep nfs rivals online !!

e.a. Showed again they dont give nothing about ther costumers by pulling the plug out off the online multiplayer on the 5th October 2025.
this means that they shutdowns the best multiplayer online ever Made by need for speed , stil love this game but ea forces you this way to buy there new NFS games witch i think is really bad , as if iT dont cost nothing , myself got all the dlc s and extra s and to set records i got a second ps 4 so when i heard they Will stop supporting iT i could belief iT ,(

Rivals is stil very alive!! As i am every day online in the game i see its very busy ,many players are disturb by this news , and Couldnt belief iT when this was being told in the most wanted group witch I made….

Ea leaves his costumers again in the cold , while th
ey still sell the game and wont back iT up!!

Keep NFS rivals online racing alive !!

  • Hello swesseling116​,

    Unfortunately every multiplayer game will reach the day that the online services will be shut down. Nothing can be done regarding this issue.

    I find this a really good excuse to get out what’s bin sold to many poeple all over the world , this way they force you to buy there new games , not forcing but if you like playing online with friends  they leave you no choise this I find and I know a lot of players think the same a dirty trick from the companys they don’t think of the customers screw them all you want to play online buy new game some don’t even have the money to buy new games there’s to Mutch going on poeple save there money instead of bying games and to know that within a couple of years the game can’t be online no more , once you bring out a game you should support this for ever 

  • Need For Speed Rivals online servers are permanently shutting down on October 7, 2025, not on October 5, 2025. You're off by 2 days. 🙂

    At least NFS Rivals can still be played offline after its online servers get permanently shut down. You can still play the game, but only with AIs and not with real players. 

    Worst thing is you can't even play the game anymore after its servers get permanently shut down, which is unfortunately the case for many games such as NFS World and The Crew 1. 

  • In contrast whit the 30 years of having need for speed games they should make it beter like rivals remastered but nooooooo they through  it away 😩😔😀

    It would be enough to simply accommodate players and make online trophies obtainable offline, especially if they are plagued by serious bugs. For example, I recently started playing NFS Rivals, but I'll never be able to get the two online trophies (and therefore the platinum) due to the infamous Friends list bug.

    This isn't something I created; it's a bug in the game!

    However, if they were obtainable offline, I think NFS Rivals—and all games with online components in general—would still have so much fun to offer!

  • I got a answer for that , in the beginning we had overwatch , when you start this you get rewards  witch car exactly I don’t know but ea pulled this out of the game so that’s 1 reason you won’t be able to get 100% of the game done , what I don’t understand is that they will pull the plug on rivals but they let most wanted 2012 online and most wanted is very difficult to understand how this online works so why don’t ea pull the plug out of most wanted and let rivals play online , if this happens and rivals get pulled offline i can garanty that ea will lose a lot of costumers because there are still a lot of players playing rivals online I can say this because I am online every day , ea will kill the first and only online gaming game what have made a lot of players stay without online the game would not have made it this far so I ask ea seriously to think this over and also you will kill the need for speed serie you got heat and unbound only hot pursuit comes a little bit close to rivals of you like to battle but do to ea is pulling out the plug of need for speed games I wonder how long it takes before heat and unbound Will be taken offline I can garanty that this will happen

    What's this bug? It might be what's affecting my ability to connect as well!
    I've been getting error 40010000 when I try to connect to EA on the PS4 version of the game, locking me out of those 2 online trophies.

    I played the PS3 version with not issues a couple of weeks back. Same PSN account, same EA Account, they're linked correctly.
    Does anyone here might know a solution for this?
