A legit code for a legit game!
In case you’re here in 2025 looking for a legit copy of The Run, here it is. It claims that it is for the Origin app but registered just fine in the EA app. Note that this game was delisted in 2021 and the game will get hung up trying to connect to the Autolog server, which no longer exists. The best way to get around this is to create a custom application firewall block in Windows Defender (you can find how to do this with a simple internet search). It will give a “failure” message upon startup but the game will otherwise work without issue. Also note that many of the cars are not unlockable without multiplayer. So how is the game in 2025? Honestly, I haven’t felt this way about an NFS since I played Most Wanted for the first time many years ago. Yes, it’s very short - if you only play the titular “Run” once. My recommendation: 1. Play “The Run” on Normal or Hard for a first playthrough and unlock all the “challenge series” events for each stage, 2. Complete all 54 “challenge series” events with at least bronze to unlock a bunch of cars to use in “The Run” (get all golds to get even more), and 3. Complete “The Run” once more on Expert with all the unlocks and cars you’ve gotten. This “3-hour game” will balloon to about 10-15 hours and you’ll come to grips with its idiosyncrasies, letting a game that at first feels short, rigid, and scripted breathe and reveal its deeper, more nuanced racing. For all the individuality and freedom previous Black Box titles gave the player, the immediacy and the intensity and of the racing here is just unmatched elsewhere in the series. If you ever wondered what the next evolutionary step for the series would be after Hot Pursuit 2 if Underground/Most Wanted never happened, this is it!

Need for Speed game digital only
When I did get this game to play, it was fine until tried to play it on my other computer in the next roon, it would not play, I'm guessing this game purchase works on one computer only I wish this game was available on disk format so I can play it on other PC's in my house w/o a hassle.
