Yo! So, I know we said the Volume 5 update was our final one for the year, and honestly, it is in terms of full updates. What’s this then you ask?! Merely a few much asked-for additions from the NFS Unbound community. We're working in a slightly different way now, looking at improving Unbound by adding new features and enhancing existing ones. Going forward, we want to try out some things with you all and see what you think. Want to help us? Then please [url=https://www.google.com/url?q=https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/nfs-unbound-general-discussion-en&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1701877761425241&usg=AOvVaw1BBVm8Li9i5v2BvRjSUVMj]give us feedback! [/url]Let us know what you think, what you want to see added,more of, or less of? and we will let you know what we are doing. You can expect to hear more from us in the new year. So for now, check out the updates below; see you on the streets!

We know that many people have requested this feature, but this version of smoke couldn’t possibly work like other tags whilst remaining realistic. Ultimately this is about you expressing what you want, realistic or stylistic. We feel it’s important you now have that choice! Please note that equipping ‘Original’ smoke can impact the game experience. For example, you won’t get visual feedback on the vehicle for perfect starts or for signature boost earning as you will with other tags. [h3]Added sorting for All My Rides [/h3] We have now added sort orders to the All My Rides screen in the garage for those of you committed to larger car collections. We salute all car collectors, and we hope this small improvement helps you to organize your collections. We have further ideas on ways to make it clear which vehicles you already own on other screens, but we aren’t quite ready yet and really wanted to give you the ability to sort your vehicles first [h3]Added Open Playlists[/h3] Open Playlists have now been added to Freedrive. These are playlists that don’t come from other players. In the downtime between other freedrive events (linkups, boosted events), the server will send out invites to playlists. Our hope is that you all find the action keeps rolling and playlists become fuller. We have more thoughts around this too, and hope to share soon. [b]Need help? [/b] We got you.
