START AT THE BOTTOM, RACE TO THE TOP

Need for Speed Unboundchallenges the conventions of the racing genre and ups the ante by introducing true consequence with impactful risk and reward for every race, decision and side bet made.

• Find Freedom in the Flow: Ride to a genre-defying soundtrack of trailblazing artists from the world of hip-hop led by multi-hyphenated artist, entrepreneur, actor and fashion icon A$AP Rocky and his creative agency AWGE, including the world premiere of A$AP Rocky's brand new track "Sh*ttin' Me," also featured in the reveal trailer.
