Need for Speed Unbound Hotfix Addresses Vol 5 Update Issues

A new Need for Speed Unbound hotfix has arrived, addressing some of the bigger issues since the Vol 5 update dropped earlier this month.

Let’s take a look at what’s been fixed in Lakeshore City with the latest Need for Speed Unbound Hotfix.

NFS Unbound Hotfix addresses Vol 5 issues

The latest Hotfix for Need for Speed Unbound aims to fix issues highlighted since the release of the Vol 5 update earlier this month.

From the game freezing mid-race on PC to players being unable to select parts of the car to customise to challenges not progressing properly, there are plenty of problems preventing players from enjoying Need for Speed Unbound.

Thankfully, this Hotfix attempts to resolve most of these problems. Fixing the performance issues is by far the biggest highlight of the Hotfix.

The freezing issues on PC have prevented players from enjoying the game as intended, and have even affected us here at RacingGames. Stuttering during races, screen tearing, and of course the freezing have plagued the game even before the Vol 5 update landed, so it’s great to see the problem finally addressed.
