A look at how the DualSense controller and 3D Audio will immerse you in street racing.
Experience Need for Speed Unbound at 60fps and 4k resolution on PS5, feel every bump in the road through haptic feedback, and immerse yourself in the world of Lakeshore, a street racers’ playground!
Recently we debuted the reveal trailer for our latest Need for Speed. Unbound is an all-new street racing thrillride in development by Criterion Software and is due out next month. As teased in the video above, your goal is to reach The Grand, Lakeshore’s ultimate street racing challenge by taking on weekly qualifiers (and outsmarting the cops!). Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to build out a garage filled with custom rides.
Today, we’re going to dig into how PlayStation 5’s features will immerse you even further. Let’s dive in.
Race against time, outsmart the cops, and take on weekly qualifiers to reach The Grand, Lakeshore’s ultimate street racing challenge when Need for Speed Unbound releases on December 2, 2022.
Pack your garage with precision-tuned, custom rides and light up the streets with your style, exclusive fits, and a vibrant global soundtrack that bumps in every corner of the world. Check out how PS5 features take street racing to a whole new level in Need for Speed Unbound.
The most realistic looking cars in Need for Speed history are paired with a vibrant graffiti-inspired art style to deliver high-energy visual and sound effects as you’re tearing through the streets of Lakeshore. Enjoy every detail thanks to the power of the PS5 unlocking 4k resolution, a 60fps framerate and 60Hz simulation rate that brings more responsive visuals and handling in the moments you need it most.
What’s the use in having a fresh new custom if no one’s around to see it? Lakeshore’s a popping city, and the PS5’s CPU allows for a higher density of traffic and pedestrians to deliver a more living world. When you’re testing out the latest upgrades on your ride, Lakeshore’s streets will be booming with other city dwellers taking care of business. That means plenty of cars to weave in and out of or scrape alongside… depending on your skill behind the wheel.
Richer car simulation also allows for a more in-depth handling model, creating an intuitive driving experience. Anyone can get in the seat but mastering the roads and earning a spot in The Grand is a completely different challenge that requires skill, bravery, and a trunk load of flair.
Feel the tyres on the road as the DualSense controller fires direct feedback to your fingertips. Don’t be afraid to get dirty too. Take your shiny custom off-road, collide with the competition, or spin out in spectacular fashion and feel every moment. Do what it takes to get ahead.
An immersive audio experience enables a deeper connection to NFS Unbound’s world and the cars living in it. Whether you’re rocking a Crown Vic or a souped up Hellcat, hear the roar of the engine bounce back off the walls of the city’s tallest buildings whilst the A$AP Rocky and AWGE-led soundtrack bumps in the background.
