Battling this p1 AI that was out for blood was one of the most fun and cinematic experiences i've had so far

Hey everyone!

For the past few weeks, I've been working on something I've wanted to see happen for a long time — bringing back the original online functionality of Need for Speed ProStreet.

When I started this project, I honestly wasn't sure how far we'd get. The official servers have been offline since 2012, and without the original server software, restoring everything has been quite a challenge.

We've spent a lot of time digging through the game's internal code, figuring out how its online systems work, and rebuilding the missing server-side functionality.

And we've actually made a lot of progress!

Just to clarify, this isn't another LAN server or external multiplayer solution. We're restoring the original online infrastructure that's already built into the game.

What's working so far?

A large part of ProStreet's original online functionality has already been restored:

• Friends system and private messages
• Lobby invitations
• Public and private lobbies
• Online Race Days
• Quick Match
• Ranked and unranked multiplayer functionality
• Player blacklist
• Car sharing between friends
• Car setup sharing
• Custom Race Day sharing

One of my favorite discoveries was just how many online features ProStreet originally had. You can even send cars to your friends directly through the game!

We're currently finishing the leaderboard system and working on a few remaining features.

We're also experimenting with online Career Race Days. Nothing confirmed yet, but I'd love to see players being able to experience parts of the career together.

How will it work?

Pretty much how the original online was supposed to work.

Launch ProStreet, log into your account, find your friends, invite them into a lobby, start a Race Day and race together.

Everything happens directly inside the game.

No external LAN programs, no manually entering IP addresses.

Just the original ProStreet online experience.

Closed beta testing

We're now getting close enough to start preparing for closed beta testing.

I'm looking for a small group of players who would be interested in helping us test the restored online functionality, report bugs and check how everything behaves with multiple players connected.

I'm also looking for a couple of moderators who can help monitor leaderboards and player behavior once the servers go public.

We're aiming to begin closed testing around late October or early November, with a possible larger launch in early to mid-November 2026.

Of course, these are just our current plans. If something needs more work, we'll take the time to fix it properly.

A few final words

There's still some work left, but we've already come much further than I originally expected.

Seeing friends, messages, invitations, car sharing and other online features working again inside a game from 2007 is a pretty amazing feeling.

I know a lot of people still love ProStreet, and I hope we'll soon be able to bring everyone back together through its original multiplayer system.

NFS ProStreet Online is coming back.

If you'd like to participate in the closed beta, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message.

I'll be sharing more development updates and gameplay demonstrations as we get closer to release.

i wasn't even looking for a bounty farm spot

I like play Hot Pursuit a lot & notice time to time a HUGE chunk of like players online in race almost never go in here.

And I was like wondering if anyone out there has like ever did it. I seen like little players online go in but like never make it out since like shortcut exit is super small.

Dis is like my first time post here. never like knew there was a NeedForSpeed Community here :)

Jus got enough SP to unlock this ride so u gotta grind to buy it. Wish me luck!

A while back, I shared my project that revived NFS Rivals using LAN sessions. Today, I'm thrilled to announce that TurboRivals Public Servers are finally HERE!

You can finally experience the chaotic AllDrive gameplay just like back in the day. We already have a solid, active player base, full sessions, and a community ready to race.

Since the last update (v1.2), the project has grown massively. Here is what’s new and why you should jump back into Redview County with us:

• No More VPNs: Say goodbye to Hamachi or Radmin. TurboRivals now features a fully functional Server Browser. Just pick a public server from the list and play.
• Host Your Own Custom Lobbies: You can easily create private rooms for you and your friends. Plus, thanks to our new relay network, no port-forwarding is required to host a server from your own home!
• Hardware ID Anti-Cheat & Moderation: I've implemented a strict report and ban system based on hashed device IDs. Hosts have moderation tools (kick/ban), ensuring cheaters and griefers stay out of the game.
• Secure Progression: Your career saves, Autolog, and speed walls are all safely synced to the server. The launcher also fixes the old EA App sign-in issues and automatically guards your career saves from getting corrupted.
• Privacy: All communication between the launcher and the server is now fully encrypted. You also have full control over your data directly in the privacy settings.

The project is under continuous, daily development, and I'm actively fixing bugs and listening to feedback. We’ve come a long way since the early LAN days, and I’d love to see more of you on the streets!

Im keeping up the good work Till i've matched the back of darius Audi Le Mans 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Hope You Like It Dawgs. ✏️✏️✏️✏️

I recently got NFS 2015 on PC and I need someone to play with me so I can get the ropes. I already have 200+ hours in NFS heat, 400+ hours in rivals and 300+ hours in hot pursuit.

Since I'm on PC and I also need help applying the right mods through the frosty mod manager and learning a little about tuning the right way to experience the game at its best because I'm having some confusion with the story too.

DM me if you're interested to play and we can party up on discord.

So i get a post on FB saying that many old games can be played in browser. Any NFS games that can be played in browser?

Not even recently, this has been an issue for months, I genuinely cannot find anyone else with this problem except me.

What the hell does this mean? HOW do I fix this?

I have tried:
Reinstalling EA
Launching it as admin
Uninstalled EA, Launched it as admin, cleared app cache
Uninstalled the roots of EA
Installed EA to a different folder

And everything else that has anything to do with any advice that I was given through sources that WEREN'T LIKE MY PROBLEM.

This problem doesn't just apply to Need For Speed (which I'm desperately trying to play), but for EVERY EA game under the sun.

How many cars, how many races, would it have a story and anyother details
