Need For Speed Unbound starts the year with a big update before attacking the serious things with free content.
Criterion promised it would update its baby regularly by listening to its players. In this sense, Need For Speed Unbound has just received its 1.1.4 patch, the famous “January update” which had already been teased before. Alas, although it touches a bit on everything, the update does not bring any additional content. In reality, it rebalances the game and gently sets the stage for what’s to come. Patch 1.1.4 of Need For Speed Unbound is already available on PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
Need For Speed Unbound Patch Notes 1.1.4 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC
This 1.1.4 patch therefore focuses on some gameplay readjustments, and the correction of some bugs. Two cars, the 1976 Golf GTI and the Koenigsegg Regera, deemed a bit too high-performance, saw their mechanics reworked. Voice chat issues on PS5 have been fixed as well as errors that could impact saves and can now be avoided.

Free DLCs and more to come
These small tweaks set the stage for what’s next, as Criterion previously announced, Need For Speed Unbound will soon receive several free DLCs, online events and more. The studio also tells us that the festivities will begin around next March and that it will give us more details a little before the release of the first DLCs.
As we mentioned in December 2022, we will be delivering a series of free content updates which will include new features, experiences, content drops and more. We are currently working on our first content update for Lakeshore and look forward to sharing more details with you in March!
