Need for Speed: Rivals

Online modes and ways to play

Rivals launched in 2013 with online play tied to the AllDrive structure. GameRant reported the official servers shut down on 7 Oct 2025, and the game does not have a separate offline multiplayer mode to fall back on.

The split I am willing to print

Rivals launched in 2013 with online play tied to the AllDrive structure. GameRant reported the official servers shut down on 7 Oct 2025, and the game does not have a separate offline multiplayer mode to fall back on. A year later, PixelPress described TurboRivals, a PC project that restores multiplayer over LAN or VPN, with a public server coordinated on Discord and a warning about what you run. The GitHub repo is MIT and says it does not ship game assets. I am not hosting a build. Six players is the figure that repo states. If you only own a console copy, this PC project does not apply. The official service is the thing that closed. Anything still moving is the later project, with its own trust decision.
