Instead of arguing, you should read that article. It explains why NFS didn't make it to old gen.

https://traxion.gg/why-need-for-speed-unbound-is-not-on-ps4-and-xbox-one/

I know it's frustrating not being able to play a game you waited for. But thrust me, it is already glitchy and buggy as it is on Current Gen. Lot of textures rendering and popping in problems. Releasing it on Old Gen would only create a new Cyberpunk 2077. That game is unplayable on old gen. It was so messed up it was removed from the PS Store for a while. Hell, have you seen how GTA Online looks on old gen now? They keep updating it but old gen consoles can't follow anymore. Now people who play GTA online on old gen spends more time waiting for the game to load textures and restating the game because it froze than actually play the game.

They won't make NFS on PS4 and Xbox One because they can't. Thrust me when I say this. EA is a money making machine. If there is a way for them to make maximum profits, they will. They knew they would make a lot more money with NFS if they released the game on old gen. But they didn't. If EA of all companies decides to give up on a ton of cash by not releasing the game on old gen, there is a good reason.

    i read that some of us don't have money for nextgen consoles need for speed unbound I have Cyberpunk 2077 for xbox one it works normally, but sometimes it crashes I've played the story a million times in this game but I didn't notice any other errors electronic arts make takot ostali work for both xbox one and x series consoles I have many other games also for this platform in one together xbox one nextgen series x that's no reason to give up due to bugs and glitches those who do this will always be because we would like unlimited money I call it cheating let them think this is no reason to decides to give up I don't see this reason, but they should make it for all consoles, many of us still have old consoles electronic arts they are not interested for other people who have old consoles.

      Then again, thinking it's just EA doing this is foolish. Plenty other companies are leaving old gen behind as well. 

      Kylotonn, the one who makes WRC games, decided to not launch Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown on old gen, and future WRC games will likely follow.

      Gotham Knights didn't launch on old gen either.

      Starfield will be Xbox Series and PC only

      Forza Motorsports (2023) is Xbox Series and PC only as well

      The Elder Scrolls 6 will also be Xbox Series and PC only 

      Ratchet and clank : rift apart is PS5 exclusive. Same for the future Spider-man 2 game.

      Forspoken will be a PS5 exclusivity for at least 24 months after it's release before being introduced to PC

      Alan Wake 2 will be current gen only. 

      I don't think I have to give more exemples, although they are many more I could give. The whole video game industry is moving on. Not just EA. In a year or two, there won' t be any video game company that will release their games on old gen. That's how it is and you can't do anything about it. Complaining online about it won't make your wishes come true.

      The only thing I can suggest you is to forget about it and move on. Thinking about it for too long will only frustrate you more and that's not healthy.

        that's the pure truth, only those who wrote these games always make them for old consoles that's right, new wrc is made in one for both consoles WRC GENERATIONS igra za XBOX SERIES X & XBOX ONE is already out Platforma Xbox One & Xbox Series X just take a look in internet stores you'll see for yourself and these two games CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE II Platforma Xbox One & Xbox Series X new games are out I won't forget and I will continue to do so Complaining

    I personally don't have a lot of money to upgrade consoles every year As a social worker, I only get 400 euros a month from them for one game that they don't want to make for all consoles electronic arts and Criterion Games not interested
