Need For Speed Unbound features an all-new, unique visual style blending elements of street art with the most realistic looking cars in the franchise’s history. The innovative single player campaign delivers thrills and consequences through an immersive narrative that engages players in the city of Lakeshore as they race, collect, upgrade, and customize the world's hottest performance cars on their way to the top of the scene.

Need For Speed Unbound challenges the conventions of the racing genre and ups the ante by introducing true consequence with impactful risk and reward for every race, decision and side bet made. Players uncover the world of Lakeshore when a robbery at a family auto-shop tears two friends apart and sets a rookie racer on a journey to win the ultimate street race and reclaim the priceless car that was stolen from them.

Need For Speed Unbound is built for the new generation of technology and will feature 4K resolution at 60 FPS for the first time in the series.

The race doesn’t end when the game launches! The world of Lakeshore never stands still through a series of free content updates that will be made available after launch and include new features, experiences, content drops and more. Additional details on post-launch content will be revealed soon.

EA & Criterion released a new Need for Speed Unbound extended gameplay video which provides the deepest look yet at the high octane action players can look forward to as well as a first look at Speed Race events including Meetups and Side Bets.

In Need for Speed Unbound, meetups are an underground scene where players can meet up with other street racers to show off their style, custom rides and put their hard earned money on the line. Each meetup gives players the ability to organize races, earn cash for wins and explore new areas of Lakeshore City. Sideline spectators can also participate in the race by placing Side Bets and putting it all on the line for their favorite racer.
