Need for Speed Unbound Vol. 7: Drift & Drag is available today taking inspiration from the legendary Need for Speed: Underground series. The latest update reintroduces Drift & Drag modes, introduces a new League mode and Speed Pass, along with new rides and more features.
The League is an Underground-inspired progression system that enhances the solo player experience in Free Roam by letting players challenge Rival Racers in head-to-head competitions to win their cars. The new Drift mode features Drift Tires for improved handling in specialized builds, while Drag mode reintroduces manual gear shifting and lane switching skills. Additionally, Vol. 7 includes a new Speed Pass and an optional Premium Track, offering a total of 75 tiers of unlockable customizable content.
- – Drift Mode: Players can elevate their street racing experience with the new Drift Mode. Crafted for those who speak in curves and think in throttle, this mode updates drifting to the classic ways with an overhauled handling model for drift builds – delivering unparalleled control and deeper levels of mastery in the drift. Drift playlists are also now added to PVP and Free Roam.
- – Drag Mode: This mode redefines racing in Need for Speed Unbound with a fresh approach when players need to take a break from the circuits. It’s a deep dive into the essence of street racing, where the thrill comes from manual gear shifts, strategic lane changes to dodge obstacles, and perfectly timed nitrous boosts. Offering a challenge for up to four players, it’s not just about the fastest car but the sharpest driver. Drag playlists are also now added to PVP and Free Roam.
- – League Mode: In Need for Speed Unbound, The League revitalizes the competitive spirit of Need for Speed Underground, offering a richer solo player experience in Free Roam. Challenge new Rival Racers in head-to-head battles throughout the volume to win their unique rides. This feature also introduces a community challenge, requiring collective effort to unlock the final boss and claim a new custom. With rivals showing up regularly and with new leagues on the way, this is where strategy, skill, and community converge, pushing players to earn their place among street racing legends.
- – New Rides: Two drift and drag superstars make their grand entrance in Vol. 7, the BMW M3 Competition Touring ’23 with its agility and the Ford Mustang Dark Horse ’24 with its pure, raw power. Ready for both drag and drift builds, these vehicles are fully customizable and come with multiple unlockable body kit options. Two sets of Rare Customs for these cars feature designs inspired by NFS Underground plus a special Speedhunters collaboration.
- – NFS Legends: New NFS Legends content arrives in this volume, featuring Underground-inspired PVP playlists starring Eddie’s Skyline and Rachel’s 350Z. Melissa’s Eclipse will also be available to unlock in the Premium Speed Pass.
- – Speed Pass: A new volume means a new Speed Pass. This one is packed with customization content across 45 tiers of unlocks. Headlining the Vol. 7 Speed Pass is the BMW M3 Competition Touring ‘23 with multiple bodykits to fully customize the new ride. There are even XP Boosts to be unlocked that’ll accelerate Rank and Speed Pass progression.
