    Hey @WebSpiderJV 

    We don't recommend trying to download our games using files found online as they may not be safe. 

    The message you see in the Play Store means the app is not compatible with your device or Android OS version. We wouldn't be able to get around this message and would want to use an older device.

    It is possible (though risky) to install an APK with an old API by using ADB. I've done it with a few games myself (my phone is Android 14 too). However, be aware that you put your phone at risk, as the APK that you use may be infected with a virus.

    Hi, team of ea games.

    Please recompile the game, it might even be enough to just change the SDK requirements.
    A huge number of people will be happy to be able to play your masterpiece on their new devices.

    Finally everyone paid.

    Best regards and thank you in advance, Angelo

    Hello EA team,

     

    I’m a huge fan of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012), and I really want to play it on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

     

    The game is an amazing mobile racing game, but it is no longer compatible with newer Android versions and devices. My S25 Ultra is far more powerful than the phones the game originally supported, so it is frustrating that the game cannot be installed simply because of compatibility requirements.

     

    Could you please consider updating/recompiling Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) for modern Android devices, especially newer Samsung Galaxy phones?

     

    You wouldn’t need to add new content. Even just updating the Android compatibility requirements and making the game work on modern devices would make many longtime fans extremely happy.

     

    Please bring this amazing game back to modern Android phones. I would absolutely buy/play it again if it became officially compatible.

     

    Thank you for reading and please consider this request! ❤️🏎️

     

    Need for Speed: Most Wanted deserves a second life on modern Android.
