Need for Speed Payback is getting a big content update and it’s going to launch Dec. 19. The update brings new cars, features, and events to the series.
Need for Speed Payback’s content update brings abandoned cars like the Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, Volvo 242DL, Volvo Amazon P130, Plymouth Barracuda, Nissan Skyline 2000 GTR, and the BMW ME Evolution II E30 to the racing game, starting December 19. You’ll need to “find the car, escape the cops, keep the car. Once you’ve acquired the car, it will then be available to purchase from a dealership of your choice,” Ghost Games wrote in a blog post.
In addition, Need for Speed Payback is getting a new mode Speedcross, which will include sixteen new events, split across four different zones: Canyon, Airfield, Construction and Ember Valley. Two new cars will also be added to the Speedcross pack, the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman, and the Infinity Q60 S. Three other cards will be added to the Speedcross pack, including the Nissan 350Z, Ford Focus RS, and Dodge Charger. Speedcross will be free if you own the Deluxe Edition, otherwise, you’ll have to buy as a standalone.

Speedlists – Drift Run
We’re adding a new game mode into Speedlists, Drift Runs. These are based on the Drift Trial events that you will have played within the single player of NFS Payback. Up to 8 players will be able to take part in the event, with a multiplier being given to those that are in front (distance wise).
In total there will be 10 different drift runs, available in both day and night settings.
These additions to Speedlists will be available to everyone from December 19th.
Steering Wheel Support
Since we revealed NFS Payback there’s been one question that’s been rumbling on amongst our community, will Need for Speed Payback support steering wheels? The short answer to this is that yes, steering wheel support is on the way.
We’ve partnered with Logitech to ensure the following wheels will be officially supported:
- Logitech G29
- Logitech G920
Steering wheel support will be coming to all platforms and will be available to everyone from December 19th.
