WHERE'S MY STUFF?!

We’ve noticed some folks are unsure where to grab their in-game loot for the various editions of Need for Speed™ Unbound, so let’s break it down.

First, let’s talk about preorders, editions, EA PLAY, and what you get.

Pre-Order Bonuses (Standard or Need for Speed Unbound Palace Edition)

• Custom driving effect
• Custom license plate
• Banner (artwork & sticker)
• $150,000 in-game credits (for use in multiplayer only)

Now, let’s look at these editions.

With the Standard Edition, you get the base game. For the Palace Edition, you’ll get the base game, 4 Exclusive Palace Custom Cars, Exclusive Palace Driving Effects, Mashman Decals & “Palifornia” License Plate, Tri-Ferg Character Pose & Banner Artwork, and Stacked Palace Clothing Pack (20 items) for your character customization.

EA PLAY

EA Play Pro members have instant access to premium versions of our brand-new games, so they’ll have access to the Palace Edition.

EA Play Members can jump into a 10-hour trial* of Need for Speed Unbound, and unlock the legendary 2006 BMW M3. Plus, enjoy unlimited access to The Play List, as well as 10% off your EA digital purchases.

We’ll also be adding recurring in-game member only rewards as we go forward.

*You can jump into the single-player Story and complete races up to Friday night in-game for the qualifier, then check out Lakeshore Online, our multiplayer experience for Need for Speed™ Unbound. Alternatively, you can play Lakeshore Online for the whole trial.
