Is NFS Unbound On PS4 And Xbox One?
No. NFS Unbound will not release on the previous generation platforms, including Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One. The game is built from the ground up using the Frostbite Engine to utilize the hardware of the current-gen platforms as it supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), Ray Tracing, and other visual and performance features that are impossible to implement on the previous-generation platforms.
When writing this article, NFS Unbound will officially release on PS5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC platforms on December 2, 2022. The game is currently up for pre-orders. So if you are interested in another open-world NFS game with Street Racing and Grafitti-themed visuals and animations, you can pre-order the game from the EA's official website or the respective platform stores to get the following pre-order bonus:
- Exclusive Unbound Driving Effect
- License Plate
- Banner Artwork
- Sticker
- $150,000 Bank (Multiplayer Use Only)
If you plan on pre-ordering the Palace Edition, you will get additional rewards:
- Four stunningly intense, new Custom Cars
- "one is a Golf GTI."
- "hmm I wonder who designed that"
- New gassy Driving Effects
- Mashman Decals and License Plate
- Exclusive Character Pose and Banner Artwork
- Exclusive Clothing Pack containing 20 items
You can get early access to NFS Unbound Palace Edition if you are an EA Play Pro subscriber. If not, you can just pre-order or buy the game after release from Epic Games Store and Steam on PC, PlayStation Store on PS5, and Microsoft Store on Xbox Series X|S.
Since NFS Unbound is a purely next-gen game, it will feature cross-platform support. Irrespective of the platform, you can play NFS Unbound with your friends by adding them to your Friends List and inviting them to a race or stroll around the game's open world.
As for cross-save, sadly, the feature is absent from NFS Unbound. So, if you plan on playing the game on multiple platforms, you have to progress the game again and again.
