Need For Speed Payback - Speedcross Update
Our first content update is ready and arrives on December 19. Here's what's in store for you.
Abandoned Cars
You may have already seen members of the street leagues driving around Fortune Valley in cars that aren't yet available to you. That's about to change.
Need for Speed Payback has plenty of great cars, and rumor has it that some of them will appear in the game world - just waiting to be found. These are the Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, Volvo 242DL, Volvo Amazon P130, Plymouth Barracuda, Nissan Skyline 2000 GTR, and the BMW M3 Evolution II E30.
Starting December 19, abandoned cars will appear in hideouts across Fortune Valley. Find the car, lose the cops - and the car is yours. The model you find can be bought from any dealer of your choice.
Abandoned cars will arrive in Fortune Valley very soon as a free addition for all NFS Payback owners.
The Mazda RX-7 Spirit R will be the first to appear in the game, with other cars following in the weeks to come.
Speedcross
Rav spent a long time preparing the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman for the Speedcross driver, and then he disappeared. The car was left without an owner, and Mac was given a chance to take it for a spin. The eternal show-off Mac dazzled Rav, and he decided to let him take the car to the Speedcross competitions.
Play as Mac and take on drivers from all over the world: from Palmont, Bayview, Rockport, Fairhaven and Olympic City. The goal is to beat the current champion: Barracuda.
Speedcross is a race where you need to score as many points as possible on a fixed route. Give it everything and don't waste a second: points are awarded for any of the categories: drift zones, jumps, speed traps and smashing obstacles.
An introduction to Speedcross includes sixteen new events split across four zones: Canyon, Airfield, Construction Site and Ember Valley.
The Speedcross pack includes two new cars: the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman and the Infiniti Q60 S. These models won't be the only ones available in the Speedcross class. The class also includes the Nissan 350Z, Ford Focus RS and Dodge Charger.
Speedcross mode is free for all owners of the Deluxe Edition. Other players can buy it as a separate add-on.

Speedlist Races – Drift Route
A new mode has arrived in Speedlist races: Drift Route. It's based on the drift trials you may have experienced in the single-player of NFS Payback. Up to 8 players can take part in the event. The leading participants receive a multiplier depending on the distance.
There will be 10 different drift routes in total: both daytime and nighttime.
These Speedlist additions will be available to all players starting December 19.
Wheel Support
Ever since NFS Payback was announced, the community has been occupied by one question: will Need for Speed Payback support wheels? To answer briefly: yes. Wheel support is coming soon.
We're working with Logitech, and the game will officially support the following models:
Logitech G29
Logitech G920
Wheel support will be available on all platforms starting December 19.
From all of us at Ghost, we wish the NFS community happy holidays and a great New Year. And that's not all, we can't wait to tell you more. See you in 2018!
