Need for Speed Unbound Vol .4 hits consoles and PC next week. Ahead of next week’s launch, EA has revealed the Need for Speed Unbound Vol. 4 patch notes outlining the bug fixes and quality of life changes we can expect.

The latest NFS Unbound update celebrates 75 years of Porsche with two free cars joining Unbound’s roster along with new challenges and events to complete. Let's find out what else players can look forward to in the Need for Speed Unbound Vol .4 patch notes.

Quality of Life Improvements coming to Need for Speed Unbound

With the Vol. 4 update, players can set a quick route to free-roam Linkup events. This allows you to set a waypoint to the nearest Linkup at the press of a button without having to go into the map. This is a more convenient way of finding Linkups, but you still can’t fast-travel in multiplayer, sadly.

Car customisation is also expanded. Vol.4 will increase the number of decals players can add to livery wraps to 1,000, allowing for more elaborate designs.

In addition, the Need for Speed Unbound Vol. 4 patch notes contain an array of bug fixes for the campaign, map, multiplayer, UI, and vehicle customisation alongside general fixes.
