    How do I access online multiplayer on PlayStation 4?

    In order to access online multiplayer on PlayStation 4, you need to have a PlayStation Plus code applied to your account.

    If you have already tried to access multiplayer before redeeming a PlayStation Plus code on your account, you will not be able to connect to online play. If this happens, just purchase and redeem a PlayStation Plus code and then restart your game completely. This will allow you to access online multiplayer.

Xbox 360 Installation Information

 

Need for Speed Rivals on the Xbox 360 requires an Xbox 360 Hard Drive with 3GB of storage space for a mandatory installation of game disc content.  You will be prompted to perform this installation the first time time you boot up your game.

 You cannot play your game without this installation, nor can it be installed on flash memory sticks, or internal flash memory--such as the internal memory of the Xbox 360 Slim, or 4GB model. Hard Drives are available and sold separately for the Xbox 360 Slim/4GB, Arcade, and Core consoles.
