14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

小学的回忆😭
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) is one of the most exciting arcade racing games I've ever played. The open-world city of Fairhaven is fun to explore, and the gameplay is incredibly fast, smooth, and addictive. Every car feels unique, and the "EasyDrive" system makes switching vehicles quick and convenient. The Most Wanted races and intense police chases keep the adrenaline high throughout the game. Crashing through billboards, smashing security gates, and discovering hidden cars around the map make exploration rewarding. The graphics still look impressive, the soundtrack fits the high-speed action perfectly, and the online multiplayer seamlessly blends with single-player for endless fun. If you enjoy arcade racing with thrilling pursuits, beautiful cars, and an open world full of challenges, Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) is definitely worth playing. It's a timeless racing game that continues to deliver an exciting experience even years after its release.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 24: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 6.57/day in the week to Jul 30 → 48.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I cant really say much when it comes to the hate for this game because its true its nothing like the og most wanted but man back when i had my PS Vita and playing this on max volume with the BGM on and going like 300km in the buggati GAH DAYUM. The vibes were unmatched. Even better to play on pc because when you crank the graphics up to the max, the game looks absolutely amazing especially during night time. When bassnectar plays it gets you in the zen mode.
jezdze fiatem
dam controller don’t WORK how was it on console and it dont function get me OUT play the ‘05 one it might be way better methinks
这代驾驶手感还不错,不过 没有主线,换车麻烦,要先在世界找到这辆车的换车点然后换车之后才能在菜单快捷换车,并且快捷换车之后出生点在换车点,配件会恢复成原厂,要自己一个一个重新加改装,车辆之间改装件不通用,需要重新打比赛解锁。警车就是个鱼雷,不装改装防撞经常被创飞。还有撞毁动画,非常影响驾驶体验。
I love how you can hite the police
