Is there any way I can get a PC Copy of this game without having to download EA Play? Cause, I have heard that you cannot play Need For Speed: The Run on EA Play/Origin. Cause, the application has a Virus or Malware and that will destroy your PC. So, I am just wondering if there is another way to get the game without using EA Play or anything like that?

Please let me know if there is a way.

What you have heard about is probably related to the Apex Legends incident. It has not been confirmed but the ERC exploit is probably from Apex itself as none of the other EA games have had the same issues. I use the EA App myself and have encountered no issues whatdsoever.
