Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is a 2020 remaster of the 2010 racing game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit originally developed by Criterion Games. It is the first game in the Need for Speed series since series publisher Electronic Arts moved the series license back from Ghost Games (now EA Gothenburg) to Criterion. The remaster was primarily handled by Stellar Entertainment, who also handled Burnout Paradise Remastered, with Criterion's assistance. It features all the content from the original game (except for three cars due to licensing issues), plus all the content-expanding DLC from the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases, and various improvements including the ability to set custom colors and create custom wraps for Racer cars.

The game was released for Windows on November 6, 2020.
