Audi arrives with a statement, supporting the new dedicated PVP mode with their renowned competitive heritage. This update features the return of the Audi R8 Coup (2019) and S5 Sportback (2017) to NFS, alongside the franchise debut of the Audi RS 6 Avant (2020). Each model is not only fully customizable with multiple distinct bodykits but also shares a meticulously crafted handling model that exemplifies Audi's signature driving experience. Complementing this, every Audi car boasts its own unique engine audio, adding an individualized touch of realism. Players can also unlock a Rare Custom version of each model through the Premium Speed Pass.
Introducing 'Rank' in Need for Speed Unbound, a new way to earn respect and showcase prowess as you play through single-player or dominate multiplayer to climb the ranks. This status symbol is prominently displayed on your Banner, letting everyone recognize your achievements. As Vol. 6 kicks off, everyone starts at Rank 1, but as you advance, your Rank endures across Volumes, never resetting. Each new Rank Division conquered unlocks a Decal, Banner Frame, and a Banner Title (a customization feature introduced in Vol. 6), turning every advancement into a visible badge of honor and skill.
The new "NFS Legends" content categorization is where history meets the future as we drive toward building the ultimate NFS experience in one place for the first time. Vol. 6 ignites this legacy by introducing Darius' Custom Audi R8 Coup '19, a modern take on his ride in NFS Carbon, in the Premium Speed Pass. Additionally, NFS Legends-themed playlists in the Weekly Playlist Programming kick off with a nod to where it all began, 1994's The Need for Speed, showcasing the iconic Ferrari Testarossa Coup (1984) from this beloved classic.
The Premium Speed Pass is your new, singular ticket for premium content as part of NFS Unbound's live service Volumes. The Vol. 6 Premium Speed Pass immediately grants the new Audi RS 6 Avant (2020) and opens up your access to its bodykits, along with 3 Rare Custom versions of the new Audis. You'll also gain access to unlocking Rydell as a playable character skin in multiplayer, infinity cosmetics, new VFX and SFX options, and more.

Have they added an option to remove all police and police style missions from the game yet ? Its my biggest pet hate of the series and ultimately its why i stopped playing the NFS series.
Also please give us a remaster of Grid or ProStreet !!!! Loved Those NFS games so much !
Honestly the NFS series hasn't been good since Underground 2 and Most wanted with the exception of the Most Wanted game by Criterion which was Burnout Paradise in NFS clothes(probably why I liked it).
After that game they took the handling in a weird direction and never brought it back. I liked the balance between "real" handling and "arcade" that NFS was really good at providing. Most Wanted 2012 did it perfectly which felt like Underground 2 and NFS Hot Pursuit 2(2 of the best NFS games IMO). Since then driving in game has been really bad and not really that much fun.
My only other gripe is that you can't get all the annoying side characters to shut up. I want to cruise around every now and then and listen to the car and every 5 sec some dipsh!t is telling me which race or shop I need to go to next and it cuts away from the car and environment sounds to make them easier to hear. I don't want to hear them. When I turn their volume down it still cuts out the rest of the volume for their speaking parts. It's quite annoying if you are just wanting to hop on the game from time to time and just "cruise" around the map doing your own thing. Mostly speeding. haha.
All that being said, yeah. It's mostly the handling of the games that I dislike now. So I don't ever play them. Thankfully they let you demo them before buying.
To be honest they should do away,with unbound and just re make underground 2 for ps5 which has the better graphics. The whole anime cartoony graphics with the characters and smoke effects is what made me not like it yes you can turnoff the lame smoke effects but the cartoony characters is just stupid. REDO UNDERGROUND 2 BEST NEED FOR SPEED. PERIOD
2024 won't be a good year for NFS fans unless they dramatically overhaul the physics to make the cars actually enjoyable to drive. Heat had some great visuals and customisation but felt awful to drive, which is kind of a big deal in a driving game. Forza Horizon has shown how to balance physics between arcade and semi-realism, it's a shame the NFS developers haven't taken note and instead have focused on things nobody asked for - like cartoony graphics and overly aggressive police AI.
Don't forget the unbearably kitschy politically correct dialogue rife with forced subliminal messaging about gender identity (Seriously? It's a racing game) and race theory. Not the car kind either...
Foreal. I had never returned a game on Steam til I bout Unbound. I lasted a single race, and the physics were so wack I uninstalled and returned. Forza figured it out.. just copy their game but add cops and some sorta gangster plot.
Man I miss old NFS.
The last good NFS was Pro Street... NFS 2015, Payback and Heat were all meh but not terrible... though they lost so much of the charm of the original series. It's just politically correct yappanese spread throughout an uninspired plot and forced dialogue using dated terminology the dated humor writers of the game think "all the kids are saying."
Just look at the images shared here. Green burnout smoke? Neon mirror holo wheels? Not to mention the cartoony smoke filled with flashing shapes and colors... it's becoming a mobile game for 13 year olds. Please bring back old school NFS. The franchise can be saved... Until then, I'll be playing Forza.
