Previously, it was reported that Need for Speed Unbound will deliver 4k and 60fps on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, it’s unknown at this point what native resolution the Xbox Series S will run the game at, though 60fps is to be expected.
Criterion Games creative director Kieran Crimmins stated that the physics engine will also update at a high frame-rate, allowing “more control and nuance” to the handling of cars than ever before. Need for Speed is all about setting trends and breaking the mold, said Crimmins. The series has always been about rebellion, which is at the heart of the street racing fantasy. He claims that NFS Unbound will explore new art styles, new visions, and new ways the game can look in order to stand out from the crowd of racing games out there and deliver innovation by setting trends.
With NFS Unbound, Criterion Games is essentially attempting to make the player feel like an illicit street racer, by making crazy bets and feeling the highs and lows and the thrills of what it means to embody that fantasy.
