Need for Speed Heat — Steam Gift

Need for Speed Heat: drive for cash by day, for reputation by night

Need for Speed Heat is an arcade racer by Ghost Games, published by Electronic Arts and released on 8 November 2019 (the Steam version arrived in autumn 2020). It's set in Palm City — a fictional city inspired by Miami and Florida. You live two lives here: by day you compete in the sanctioned Speedhunt and earn clean money (BANK), and by night you take on illegal races that build reputation (REP) — while an aggressive police task force led by corrupt cops hunts you down. The more you show off at night, the higher your heat: pursuits get nastier and the stakes climb.

Buying from us gets you the Deluxe Edition as a Steam gift: the full game plus a pack of bonuses. Below we break down exactly what's included, how it works on Steam, and how we deliver the gift.

How the day/night loop works

Heat's signature idea is splitting the day. Daytime is for legal Speedhunt Showdown events: you race the circuits, bank BANK, and cops are mostly absent. At night the city changes — illegal races open up, wins reward REP that levels you up and unlocks new parts, cars and tuning. But night is also when the police get busy: get busted and you risk losing all the REP you earned that night. That risk-and-reward balance is the heart of the game — you constantly decide whether to push for one more race or get the car back to the garage while you still can.

Tuning and the car roster

Need for Speed Heat is known for deep customization. Over a hundred licensed cars — from Japanese JDM legends to American muscle and European supercars. You tune not just looks (body kits, vinyls, rims, camber) but behavior too: gearbox, forced induction, handling biased toward drift or toward grip. Every car can be dialed in to your style, from clean apexes to a controlled slide through every corner.

What the Deluxe Edition includes

The Deluxe Edition is the full game plus exclusive content. Specifically:

• Four K.S. Edition cars with a special wrap: the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is available from the start, the BMW i8 Coupe unlocks at reputation level 10, the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe at level 14, and the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport at level 18.
• An exclusive wrap for your cars.
• 4 character outfits.
• Faster progression: +5% REP and +5% BANK earnings throughout the whole game.

So you don't need a separately purchased base game — the Deluxe Edition already contains the full title. The bonus cars aren't pay-to-win: they unlock as your reputation grows, they just give you a stylish head start and a nice boost to grinding.

How the Steam gift is delivered

This is a Steam gift, not a key. The flow is simple: you leave your Steam friend invite link and your account region. Our bot adds itself as your friend, sends the gift, and removes itself once delivered. You don't need to accept the friend request manually, and Steam Guard isn't required. Then you simply accept the gift in Steam, and Need for Speed Heat lands in your library. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes after checkout.

Region and key conditions

Steam gifts have two rules, without which the gift won't go through. First: your Steam account region must match the gift region — so enter your real region at checkout. Second: you must not already own the game — Steam won't let you accept a gift for a title that's already in your library. If both conditions are met, it all goes smoothly. No prior activity or previously purchased games are required — a fresh profile works fine.

Performance and platform

On Steam the game runs on PC (Windows). It's fairly friendly to mid-range hardware and holds a high, steady frame rate on modern GPUs. Controls feel good on both keyboard and gamepad — many players prefer a controller for an arcade racer like this.

In short

Need for Speed Heat Deluxe Edition is the full arcade racer about a street racer's double life, plus four K.S. Edition cars and a progression boost. We deliver it as a Steam gift via a bot: provide your invite link and account region, accept the gift, and hit the streets of Palm City.
