Need for Speed fans, here is something for you today. This month, two cool fan remasters surfaced for the 2005 version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. So, let’s take a look at them.

The first fan remaster comes from YouTube’s DifferentAryya. This fan remaster brings to the game bright skies, vibrant roads, and a better lighting system. It will also overhaul the textures, and it will provide a fresh atmosphere.

You can download this mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a couple of videos. These will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. I’ve also scanned the mod, and it does not contain any virus or malware.

The other remaster comes from NexusMods’ member Keisirius. This second fan remaster adds dynamic weather and improved rain effects. It also brings greater customization for most cars, and new customization parts such as neon lights, vinyls, and other components. Not only that, but this mod will improve the AI for rivals and police.

And that’s not all. The mod will allow up to 8 participants in quick races. It also brings more traffic with varied colors, as well as more races and sprints in quick mode. Police cars will now explode when heavily damaged. You’ll also find improved police vehicles and new 3D models for some of them.

All in all, this second fan remaster appears to be doing more than just improving the game’s graphics. So, if you want to try it, you can download it from this link. Sadly, though, we don’t have a video to share for it.

So, there you have it. Although EA does not plan to release a remaster for NFS: Most Wanted, PC gamers can actually enjoy not one but two. Yes, these are fan remasters. And honestly, these fan remasters are so well done, they could easily be as good as an official one from EA.

In fact, according to reports, EA has shelved the Need for Speed IP. This means we likely won’t see any new NFS games in the near future. As a result, fans of the series will have to rely on mods like these to enjoy the older NFS titles.

Speaking of Need for Speed, I also recommend trying this RTX Remix Mod for Need for Speed: Underground. This mod adds real-time Path Tracing to this classic NFS game. This is among the best RTX Remix Mods we’ve gotten in the past couple of years. So, if you own a high-end GPU, you should definitely give it a go.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
