A user with an early copy of Need for Speed Unbound has seemingly streamed gameplay online a week before the game’s release.
At the time of publishing, nearly 20 minutes of gameplay has been uploaded to YouTube, sourced from an unknown player, ahead of the game’s official December 2 release date.
The game’s Palace Edition and EA Play early access trial goes live three days earlier on November 29.
Announced last month, the Criterion-developed racer features 4K resolution at 60 FPS for the first time in the series, as well as a new art style with customisable driving effects.
“To get to the top, you gotta take risks,” reads the official description for the game. “Choose how and when to put it all on the line, pulling huge drifts on the street, outdriving the cops, or placing side bets with your own earnings against rival racers.
“Time is money, so find the fastest way to earn enough cash to enter the weekly qualifiers and make it to Lakeshore’s ultimate race, The Grand.”
