Among the free games offered on PlayStation Plus in 2025, across all membership tiers, is a classic from the PS3 era that PlayStation enthusiasts are rediscovering. This free PS3 game was originally released in 2010, a year before the PS4 hit the market. The year 2010 saw some highly anticipated games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, God of War III, and Halo Reach. Although this free PlayStation Plus game wasn’t as groundbreaking as these titles, it was still a significant release that came out in the bustling gaming season of November.
Originating from Criterion Games and published by EA, the free PlayStation Plus game on PS3 being discussed here is none other than Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not the original PS3 version that became free through PS Plus; instead, it’s the 2020 remastered version for PS4 that has been made available.
If you haven’t already taken advantage of it, the PS3-era game was given away for free through PS Plus in January. Unfortunately, this chance to get it for nothing has now passed. However, since then, those with a PS Plus subscription have been able to play the 15-year-old game.
On the PS Plus Reddit forum, one user raves about the exhilarating racing experience provided by Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered 2020. They appreciate its enhanced visuals, intuitive yet engaging controls, wide variety of high-performance vehicles, thrilling drifting sequences, and the option to play as either a cop or a racer. The game also features numerous tools for hindering opponents’ progress, and the night races are particularly stunning. Overall, they rate it 9.5 out of 10.
The comment perfectly aligns with my thoughts. In my opinion, Need for Speed games ought to be devoid of excessive narrative, focusing solely on getting from point A to B for racing purposes, ensuring a purely racing experience.
For most people, the length of time they spend playing this PS3 classic may differ. However, if you choose to play it through PS Plus, you can expect an average playtime of around 15 to 25 hours, although this could increase if you explore additional content. If you’re a completionist, be prepared to invest between 40 and 50 hours into the Electronic Arts game.
