Love hardcore video games? How about those fast-moving races? Look no further than what Need For Speed Unbound is delivering with a much-needed Volume 4 pack loaded with content. From celebrating Porsche’s 75-year run to finding out even more ways you can game, it’s all in the load out.

Racers, it’s time to celebrate the streets in Need for Speed™ Unbound Volume 4! Today, EA and Criterion Games released Need for Speed Unbound Volume 4, the latest drop in the title’s series of post-launch updates. Volume 4 celebrates 75 years of Porsche with exciting new themed events, cosmetics and customizations, offering players the opportunity to earn the wildest legendary custom Porsche the streets have ever seen, a fully electric Porsche Taycan Turbo S (2022).
Volume 4 also invites players to join the chase and push themselves to their limits in new Linkups, “Boosted” events and Daily and Weekly Challenges for the chance to earn XP and sweet new rides. Volume 4 introduces a new, free Speed Pass, bringing 75 ranks of cosmetics and customizations. Plus, the Legendary Custom Porsche 911 Carrera S (1997) is up for grabs for those that make it past rank 50.
Players will also be able to check out new Gauntlet playlists, which offer the ultimate thrill of street racing as the cops join the chase. Outracing and outsmarting the most determined cops in Lakeshore will earn them big rewards – but if they get caught, they’ll go home empty-handed. Players can also find new premium content in the store, including the Hip Hop Origin Swag Pack*, which is the ultimate celebration of street style and honors the roots of hip hop with the Legendary Custom Mercedes-AMG G 63 (2017) and more.
