Need for Speed Unbound Volume 9 Adds Lockdown Game Modes and a First Ever Motorbike​

For the first time in the 30-year history of Need for Speed games, players will be able to ride a motorbike with the upcoming Volume 9 update for Unbound...

This seems interesting. EA really done a good job supporting multiplayer in this game

Playable motorcycles in NFS before GTA 6

If memory serves me correct, it was the Player's M3 GTR not Razor... But I could be wrong...

Technically yes and also technically it's both.

The player uses it originally, then Razor effectively steals it after sabotaging it and he uses it to ascend the Blacklist. At the end, the player wins it back by beating him while he's racing it.

In "ownership" terms, it's never owned by Razor, but he does race it the most in the game. I think Razor's "own" car is a Mustang.

I’m glad the bike wasn’t teased/leaked before reveal, that was fun to see people’s live reactions to.

Unbound has been such a really good game. Is anything particularly great about it ? no, I can pin point a lot that's wrong with it but in this day and age where great seems to be an afterthought for most publishers its really nice to just play a really good game.

Bikes in NFS? WTF...? 🤨

We’re expecting this to be the final major update for Unbound, given both the existence of the Ultimate Collection — which includes the Volume 9 Premium Speed Pass — and the wording of the release that states that this update will be the “climactic peak of our live service journey”.

For anyone like me who's considering picking this up since the game is reaching its end of life & this bundle includes everything to my understanding, the Ultimate Collection is currently on sale through EA's Black Friday deals, at 80% off til' 12/2 taking it from $85 to just $17. Unbound by itself, is 90% off at $7.00.

Ultimate Collection is the way to go, it has everything that was ever added to the game (except some pre-order cosmetics from 2022).

Is the bike available in offline mode?
