Although I had earlier submitted a deal post on Need for Speed: Heat Deluxe Edition, I only belatedly noticed that Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered had also been heavily discounted nearly a week ago, to A$3.99 on EA's Origin store (-90% off, was A$39.95).
- At time of writing this deal post, the only sale for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered (PC version) is on Origin. E.g. Steam store listing is full priced at A$39.95
- NOTE: this game is included in EA Play, EA Play Pro / EA Play for Steam / Microsoft Xbox Game Pass for PC subscriptions
- Origin store website isn't helpful as it doesn't explicitly say how long discount offers last / when they end … if anyone happens to know, write a comment and I'll fill out the deal post's Expiry Date.
