EA’s next Need for Speed game will reportedly launch in November but not for Xbox One or previous-gen consoles. It’s been claimed that the next entry into the Need for Speed series will be current-gen only. The rumour comes from VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb, who recently said on his GiantBomb Grubbsnax show (thanks, VGC) that EA’s delayed Need for Speed title will now launch later this year. “Need for Speed is still coming this year… that’s true. That game should be coming in November,” Grubb said. “If you are a Need for Speed fan who has bought a next-gen console, here’s some news; it’s next-gen only. They are shifting to next-gen only.”The next Need for Speed title, which is yet to be formally announced by EA, was delayed last year with developer Criterion Games being pulled from the game to work with DICE on Battlefield 2042. At the time, EA did tell Polygon that this new Need for Speed game would launch on current and previous generations of PlayStation and Xbox consoles, but if what Grubb is now saying is true, then it appears EA’s plans have shifted into a different gear.What do you make of the rumour? Would you be disappointed to see this new Need for Speed game only launch on Xbox Series X|S? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments.
