How To Create A Crew In Nfs Heat

Learn about the benefits of joining a Crew in Need for Speed Heat.

No one rises to the top alone, and you're just another player on the streets if you don't have a Crew behind you.

Joining a Crew in Need for Speed Heat is easy, and being part of a successful Crew brings rewards above and beyond the fun of playing with others.

Every member of a Crew contributes to the Crew's level—and leveling up your Crew means rewards for every member of the Crew. Rewards include increased Heat, Bank, and Rep boosts, which will help you get ahead faster than you could on your own.

Speaking of faster, Crews have access to Crew Time Trials where you can race one another without the distraction of AI enemies or other players. Go head-to-head with your closest rival and see who really owns the streets.

We automatically add you to a Starter Crew early in the game so you can see the perks of being in a Crew for yourself, and see everyone's custom rides in the Crew Garage.

An example of a Crew Garage in Need for Speed Heat.

You'll find the Crews menu under Social on the main menu.

Once you've found your feet and partied up with other players, you can choose to leave the Starter Crew and then start a Crew of your own or join a different one.

Leaving a Crew

Choose Social from the main menu.
Select Crews.
Choose Members.
Select Leave Crew.
Confirm you want to leave your current Crew.

If you've already been invited to join another Crew, check the Invites area on the Crews menu.

If you choose to accept an invite there, you'll automatically leave your current Crew.

Finding a new Crew

Choose Social from the main menu.
Select Crews.
Choose Find Crew.
Browse the available options to find a Crew you'd like to join.
Select Join Crew on the one that suits you best.

Sometimes joining is automatic, and other times the Crew Leader will need to approve you joining. If approval is needed, you'll need to wait for that before you're added.

Leading a Crew

If you don't want to join a different Crew, you can always start your own.

Choose the Create Crew option that shows when you quit the Starter Crew.

As Crew leader, you get to name your Crew, choose a logo, and invite other players to join.

You can also set your Crew to be Public (available through the Find Crew option) or Private (membership by invitation only).

If it's Public, you can choose whether players can auto-join or need to be approved by you first.
Players needing approval show in the Requests list.

You can change most of your Crew Settings in the Edit Crew option on your Crews menu.

Whether you want to group up with Crew members or friends, we've got you covered:

Use Find Players on the main menu to add players to your Friends list in-game. Search for them using their Origin name, Gamertag or PlayStation Network ID.
Choose the Create Party option to invite someone from your friends list, or search for a player's name to invite them to your Party.

When you're in a Party and you get close to an event marker on your map, you'll be asked if you want to race alone, invite party members, or challenge everyone on the server to race against you.

If you've found yourself in a party you'd rather not stay in, you can drop the party at any time by choosing the Leave Party option from the menu. You'll find it at the lower left of most menu screens.

We're all for the spirit of competition and we know there's a certain amount of banter that comes with that. But if someone crosses the line and gets personal, things can quickly stop being fun for everyone else. That's where you might want us to step in.

If you end up in a party or a Crew with someone who is being offensive, either to other players or by driving a car with an offensive custom wrap or plate, let us know about it.
