Starting on November 29, 2022, those with an EA Play subscription can play up to 10 hours of the standard release, and those with an EA Play Pro subscription can play the Palace Edition.


A three day early access period for those that pre-order the Palace Edition was also announced, starting on November 29, 2022. It was announced on Octoby publisher Electronic Arts to be released for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on December 2, 2022. Despite all of its flaws i think the good things criterion did is they don't put rubberbanding ai, good looking graphics, awesome effects, and good sound designs.Need for Speed: Unbound is the thirtieth game in the Need for Speed series and the first since Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) to be mainly developed by Criterion. Cops are hard to avoid from(feels like i'm playing metal gear solid ngl), small rewards for 20 minutes of police chase (evading heat 5 cops only grant you $2,5k), cops are such a drag before you reach s tier level car, game gets too grindy on the first 10-15 hrs of gameplay, drifting physics is ass, voice actors are ok but the dialogues are cringy asf(i literally had to mute it), doesn't have dynamic weather system(it just a small flaw but i had to mention it), and had a few bugs where my screen completely blacked out and the only thing that is not is the mini map and i had to go to garage just by looking to mini map(glad it wasn't far) also there is bug that i often encountered where your car badge isn't showing in the game(in my case it was corvette's badge).
