The game was released for PlayStation in March 1998 and later received an enhanced port for Microsoft Windows in October 1998. A PlayStation 2 version was developed, but later cancelled. The game title's suffix, "Hot Pursuit", is a term for a police pursuit. The game had a sequel that was released in 2002 as Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit é o primeiro jogo da série de videojogos Need for Speed a contar com polícia perseguindo nos rachas. Os policiais fazem de tudo para prender e multar o jogador, elas atrapalham as corridas jogando barris de fumaça e põem dentes de jacaré no meio da pista fazendo o pneu furar reduzindo sua velocidade.

O jogo também conta com 4 Modalidades diferentes de jogo: Single Race (onde o jogador livremente poderá escolher o carro para corrida e seus oponentes e também a pista que desejar), Hot Pursuit (onde o jogador pode optar por ser o policial ou ser o fugitivo), Tournament (campeonato de pontos corridos de determinada classe), Practice (para poder praticar) e a modalidade Knockout (onde quem chega na última colocação na corrida é eliminado automaticamente do torneio).
