Rating Summary
Need for Speed HEAT is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Language and Mild Violence. Also includes Users Interact and In-Game Purchases. This is an open-world racing game in which players assume the role of a character rising through the ranks of the racing scene in the fictional Palm City. As players compete in races (e.g., street, circuit) to earn reputation and money, and they can encounter and flee from pursuing police vehicles that deliberately crash into them. Players can also slam and crash police cruisers to avoid being arrested. A handful of cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: a police officer kicking a man in the stomach; a character punching a policeman; characters held at gunpoint. The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” are heard in the game.
