Need for Speed™ Payback

In Fortune Valley, a crew of three drivers reunites to take revenge on The House, a criminal cartel with influence over the city. The story follows Tyler, Mac and Jess through races and action-focused missions. Drive through an open world of city streets, deserts and forests, taking on races, drift events, drag races, off-road challenges and police getaways. Missions include set-piece heists and pursuits, while map activities include speed tests, jumps, billboards and hidden wrecks. Build a garage for five vehicle classes—Race, Drift, Off-Road, Drag and Runner—and customize cars visually. Performance improves through upgrade cards earned or obtained during play; events and challenges also provide ways to progress. Online features include competing with friends and comparing leaderboard times.
