The game freezes during certain moments

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug The game freezes briefly every time I complete the activities (speed traps, hot laps, drift zones, etc.), during linkups when switching to a new challenge and when the linkup is over, as well as when I successfully escape from the cops.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Complete any activities within the game, participate in a linkup and pay attention to when a round is complete and the next one begins, as well as when the linkup is over and it is time to outrun the cops. Also, pay attention to when the "escaping" phase of the cop chase is complete.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game freezes briefly before going back to normal. It doesn't affect my gaming that much, but is quite annoying.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see a smooth gameplay with no freezes at all.

No additional info. Everything was described in the summary.

  • Same on PC on Steam version, it start after buy ultimate upgrade for me.

  • Exactly, after installing the ultimate collection upgrade, the game starts to freeze when completing certain events.

  • Same for me. Im on PS5 Pro, when bought ultimate edition, only then i started to get this annoying freeze.

  • same as everyone else, freeze starts to happen after purchasing ultimate edition.

  • every time xp is awarded (activities escaping pursuts , etc. ) game freezes multiple times.

    temp fix only for campaign - turn off auto logging-in in game settings (security), restart game and u can play campaign in offline mode, 

    downside no speed pass progression

  • @firmforest I contacted support about this nearly 3 months ago and they said tha they are working on it. Till this day nothing has changed.
  • Same happens to me, I’m on PS5 too, loading time is suddenly longer too.

    I had no issues before buying the Ultimate Collection Upgrade. 
    I even deleted the add-ons because I didn’t want my garage to be full of random cars.

    Re-installing the game with Palace Edition only didn’t do anything too.

    Stuff like this really annoys me, stuttering and lags, I really enjoyed how smooth the game was running, but stuttering/freezing during race is pretty annoying. This has to be fixed.

  • I'm having the same issue as well on PS5.  Everything was fine until I purchased the Ultimate Edition so I could have all the content at a discounted price.  Super annoying!  Please fix!!!
