Electronic Arts and Ghost Games have announced that a new major update for Need for Speed Payback will release tomorrow. This patch will allow players to own some cars that were available to them before.
These so-called Abandon cars include Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, Volvo 242DL, Volvo Amazon P130, Plymouth Barracuda, Nissan Skyline 2000 GTR and the BMW M3 Evolution II E30. In order to get them, players will have to find one of these cars, escape the cops, and keep the car. Once they’ve acquired the car, it will then be available to purchase from a dealership of their choice.
Furthermore, this update adds a new game mode into Speedlists, Drift Runs. Drift Runs are based on the Drift Trial events that players have played within the game’s single player. Up to 8 players will be able to take part in the event, with a multiplier being given to those that are in front.
In addition, this patch will add steering wheel support. The first wheels that will be officially supported tomorrow are the Logitech G29 and the Logitech G920 (though we are pretty sure that other wheels will also work).
Last but not least, the Speedcross update will also introduce a new paid DLC. Since we are against paid DLCs, though, we won’t bother covering it!

why ,,,
dont ignore it …. show it to everyone so we can take a huge dump on it
They better fix the FOV in this game it is horrible on anything past 1080p, doesn’t dynamic scale it’s 100% a console port.
The game is totally unplayable in Nividia Surround aka multi-screen @ 5760×1080, they use a 1080p FOV. Also this game sets your CPU on fire and you get insane temps on your CPU, not sure why.
I love Arcade racers but I totally regret getting this NFS and have not played it since the first week(pre ordered it at GMG during E3, so I can’t return it). Also those damn blue rings they make you drive through I wish you could turn it off like in a Forza games(the road marker) it ruins the immersion hard core.
Such a waste of a franchise 🙁 , maybe the patch will provide a miracle but I doubt it and lost all faith in EA.
Exactly! Fix that FOV!!!!! Those of us with ultra and Multimonitors are screwed with this game.
It is insane it has no support 🙁 , and the crazy thing is their first NFS game, Need for Speed Rivals did support it perfectly, the only beef was it was locked at 30FPS. You would think they get it right this time, I guess no one on the team is relevant or plays on the PC.
Yea playing on the PC with a game that should have all the bells and whistles ultimate version is totally lackluster. I’d imagine someone on that dev team is into race sims with triple monitors and a wheel setup. such a disappointment.
