Need for Speed Unbound Vol. 7: Drift & Drag

  • 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.
