Racing fans who can’t seem to get enough of their speed fix on computers and consoles will soon have a new option with the release of Need for Speed ProStreet for PlayStation Portable. Electronic Arts announced on Monday that its upcoming title will ship to retailers on Friday, Feb. 22.

The PSP version of ProStreet will offer a similar experience to the original game, which was released for Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC back in November. Players climb behind the wheel of stock automobiles in a racetrack environment and attempt to climb to the top of the circuit by winning races, unlocking new tracks, buying new cars, and customizing them.

Tracks include Tokyo’s Shuto Expressway, the Autobahn, and the Nevada desert, among others. The PSP version of the game also gets Driver Persona, a feature that allows players to customize the difficulty of the game, and Driver Intuition, which traces out a best line for the course to help guide players.

Need for Speed ProStreet will retail for $39.99, and come with an E for Everyone rating.

After years of chasing the Netflix model, Microsoft's gaming strategy may be returning to hardware and first-party exclusives.

For much of the past decade, Xbox had one big idea: be the Netflix of gaming. Under Phil Spencer, Microsoft invested tens of billions of dollars into Game Pass, bought some of the industry's biggest publishers, and pushed the idea that subscriptions, not consoles, would define gaming's future. According to a new report from Bloomberg, that vision is now being rethought.

A new direction for Xbox

Microsoft spent years positioning Xbox Game Pass as the future of gaming. But according to a new report from Bloomberg, the service has fallen well short of the ambitious goals Xbox originally set for it. The report claims Xbox executives targeted 77 million Game Pass subscribers by the end of fiscal 2026. Instead, the service reportedly sits at around 30 million subscribers today, which is less than half of what Microsoft had hoped to achieve.
