Sony Ps5 Need Of Speed Unbound NFS

In development since at least 2020, Need for Speed Unbound checks off many of the items on fan wishlists from previous years. In addition to putting a firm focus on street racing, Need for Speed Unbound will include an offline single-player mode and cross-play (though not cross-progression). It will continue to put an emphasis on the cars themselves – meaning a cockpit view is out, but hood and bumper cameras are in.

But even if it looks very different from previous entries — and series stalwart Ghost Games is long gone — don't call it a reboot.

"I think Need for Speed Heat was extraordinarily successful for us," Criterion GM Matt Webster says. "So we are following up this game from a really, really successful Need for Speed Heat, and the games continue to reach tens of millions of players. So our view of this is where Need for Speed is going...this is us sort of encapsulating the fantasy and setting it up for a modern audience."
