Need For Speed Unbound Receives Massive Free Update Ahead Of Xbox Game Pass Release

Fully understand that this is a silly reason to not play something, but I was interested in getting this and going for the full achievements score, however I've read there's one achievement in particular (an online play related once unsurprisingly) which is supposed to be a real pain. Relying on multiple people completed more than one multi series race I believe with no one dropping out

I’ve had this game since it was released and generally really like it. I just wish they’d have a setting to decrease police presence. It really becomes a pain in the ass when you have six or seven cops chasing you and you lose a few and then suddenly more pop up.

Only gripe with the game. Racing itself is a blast!

@Tothington91 Play on another account so it doesn't matter if you miss achievements?

I tried the time limited demo when it was released and thought it was ok but nothing spectacular.

Might have another look now it's had some patches and put a bit of rubber on the road. Probably won't play for long though as this style of racing isn't my thing (that & I am massively addicted to Diablo 4).

@MagicCat that's ... erm ... Yeah why didn't I think of that haha

@Tothington91 the online achievements aren't that bad, especially with an influx of players b/c of gamepass it should be a breeze.

I’ve heard good things about this, nice addition to GamePass.

@Tothington91 Lol I know what you mean, I like to get at least 60 percentage of the achievements/trophies before I feel I’ve completed a game. Guess I’m a bit OCD or something. I have to get over 60 in all my Xbox games lol. Suffice to say I’m missing out on Diablo and select certain games off gamepass lol. I slogged through Redfall to get 75 percentage. Each to their own, regardless I think it makes games more fun.

I picked NFS up at Christmas when it was on sale and within about 3 weeks was at 80 of the achievements completed and it was fun too. They’re not bad to do.

@LordFunkalot Regarding Diablo, getting 60% isn’t really that hard. There are only three that are hard. 5 PvP kills, level 50 hardcore and beating the final Uber boss. I think you could get the 60% just through regular gameplay. It’s a lot of fun.

@FatalBubbles thanks mate, I’ll keep that in mind. I’ve watched loads of reviews and might pick it up at some point.

I played through Elden Ring last year and got 75 percent of the trophies. Like Elden Ring, Diablo isn’t my normal sort of game but I can tell it’s a good game and it definitely interests me. I think I would enjoy the game and working through the achievements.

I’m happily playing through street fighter 6 at present, hopefully that should keep me going until Starfield.

If not I might get Diablo or that Immortals of Aveum as I think it looks pretty cool too.

Well the added features are pretty stupid, but luckily it seems unnecessary.

@LordFunkalot I didn’t manage 75% of them in Elden Ring, only 64%.

Diablo 4 will take a big chunk of time to get 75% but it’s more a time thing that a multiplayer or skill thing to get there.

I saw that Inmortals was delayed to August unfortunately.

Oh mad. Played 5 or so hours with the free trial. Didn't play much more because I wasn't going to buy it but wanted to play it when it hit game pass.

Fun game. Really decent return to form for NFS. Not as great as the classic PS2 era but then again it's kind of a hard task. It was the age of Fast and the Furious et al, and I was in the prime demographic. Now F&F is no longer about cars and I'm old af (okay, not that old but I have the same body as Vin Diesel on holidays).
