Platform Availability and more
As promised by Electronic Arts, Need for Speed Unbound is to support crossplay in the multiplayer mode, Lakeshore. The game will have the crossplay feature between PC, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series S-X, with the option to be disabled.
One of the game’s newest features is, without a doubt, the graffiti-style visual effects that EA added. Surprisingly, this option can also be disabled, most likely because many fans prefer the classic look of the game.
