PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can download Need for Speed Unbound on PS5 at no extra cost from 6th January until 2nd February, as part of the Monthly Games line-up alongside Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and Core Keeper.
Once added to the game library, Need for Speed Unbound can be redownloaded at any time with a PlayStation Plus subscription.
PlayStation Plus is available in three tiers, with the cheapest, Essential, costing £6.99 / $9.99 per month or £59.99 / $79.99 per year.
Originally released in 2022, Need for Speed Unbound is an open-world street racer featuring extensive car customisation, cop chases and a unique art style incorporating cel-shaded elements.
It’s unclear whether the PlayStation Plus Monthly Game will be the Ultimate Collection version of Unbound, which features all post-release content.
These include nine Volume updates, the most recent of which added a Lockdown multiplayer mode inspired by the fabled 2005 Most Wanted game and, for the first time in Need for Speed, a playable motorcycle.
With Criterion supporting Battlefield 6’s development, Need for Speed is currently on hiatus. While it’s not known if a new entry is in development, EA says the street racing series will return in “new and interesting ways” at some point.
Other ex-Criterion staff are also working on Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a futuristic racer set in the Star Wars universe, set to release in 2026, among many other racing games, at the newly formed Fuse Games studio.
