14 DAY TRIAL // Today, EA has made available for download a new application for the owners of Android-based devices out there, in the form of Need for Speed Network.
The new software is powered by Autolog and arrives on devices not only with access to all that Need for Speed involves, but also with appealing content for users to enjoy.
Users will also be able to connect to Need for Speed Rivals – Ghost Games’ newest Need For Speed title – regardless of platform (Xbox 360, PS3, PC, PS4, or Xbox One).
“When you start playing Need for Speed Rivals your online status is visible to your cross platform friends on the Need for Speed Network map – see your Friends in Real Time playing Need for Speed Rivals,” the application’s description reads.
“Use the power of Autolog to automatically collect and share your stats and activity with your Friends on the Need for Speed Network. You and your Friends can compare and compete on Autolog Speedwalls which include your Need for Speed Rivals event times.”
Moreover, people will be able to use the application in Navigator mode when playing on their consoles, thus enjoying a second screen for the world map. They will also be able to see friends in Redview County and to set Waypoints to the events they want to play next.
Those interested in comparing their achievements with those of friends, or to compete with them to be the hottest Rival in Redview County, can also experience a whole new way to play, courtesy of OverWatch.
“OverWatch allows you and your Friends to join each other’s multiplayer world and interact with each other from your mobile, tablet or the web to continue the Rivalry,” EA explains.
“Help your friends by refilling their nitrous, repairing their car and refilling their tech on the go, or choose to hinder them by deploying cop tech into their game, all in real-time and allow your Friends to do the same to you.”
To progress in OverWatch, one will need to earn Speed Points and awards, which allow them to unlock exclusive cars and liveries in Need for Speed Rivals. Users will also have the option to turn OverWatch off at any time in the game’s settings menu.
You can download Need for Speed Network for Android from Softpedia today. The app is compatible with all devices running under Android 4.0 and up.
