Bag yourself some sweet XP for the Speed Pass and Bank to earn yourself dope new cosmetics and customizations - when the Linkup ends, you’ll still have to shake off the cops to hold on to all your hard-earned cash.

There’s no point owning the streets if you aren’t doing it in style. Show everyone you’re the boss with epic new rims, clothes and legendary poses. As you progress through the Speed Pass you will unlock new ways to elevate your look and put your own stamp on Lakeshore.

My worst fears about NFS became true in this content update. NFS Unbound is getting a Speed Pass (Battle Pass). 😞

I am sick and tired of every game implementing a Battle Pass-like system. -_-

KartRider: Drift has it. Rogue Company has it. The Crew 2 has it. And now NFS Unbound will have it.

I have enough of Battle Passes for my entire lifetime because it just creates FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

At least with NFS Unbound, the Speed Pass is completely free but with 75 Levels (compared to KartRider: Drift's 40 Levels, The Crew 2's 50 Tiers, and Rogue Company's 35 Tiers (used to be 50 Tiers)).

As there is new content and features coming with this Volume 3 update, this will bring me back to playing NFS Unbound. (I haven't played NFS Unbound since April 2023 lol) And it seems like EA is supporting NFS Unbound a bit longer than previous NFS games when they are hinting another update when the Speed Pass ends on August 16, 2023.

Are the three DLC packs included in EA Play Pro or not? Or do I have to just buy them?

Yikes.

The NFS franchise is gonna take a big L if that really happens. I despise having FOMO simply because I didn't spend extra money for the Premium paid Speed Pass.

The three DLC packs (Robojets Swag Pack DLC, Ford Mustang Legendary Customs Pack DLC, and Volume 3 Customs Pack DLC) are not included in EA Play Pro and must be bought separately. The only thing EA Play Pro provides is a purchase discount for the three DLC packs for being a EA Play Pro member.
