According to Edge Online, Need For Speed is the "best selling racing brand in the gaming world", with $2.7 billion (£1.6 billion) in life-to-date sales.
EA Games president Frank Gibeau said: "Few videogame franchises ever reach the 100 million units mark, so this is a huge honour. We have millions of fans to thank for driving us to this milestone."
A total of 15 NFS games have been released on 14 different platforms since the series debuted in 1994.
Need For Speed: Nitro is due to be released for the Wii and DS in November, following last month's release of Need For Speed: Shift.
