Extensive customisation

NFS: Payback takes hints from the greatest predecessors and provides the player with a huge selection of performance and visual customisation options fit to satisfy even the most demanding veterans of the franchise.Among the most essential features you get a detailed control over your car's Stance, with several separate settings for each section of the suspension system.You also get a significant library and flexibility in terms of visual upgrades, which let you make your ride look just the way you want it to look.

Several car classes

There is no single perfect care for every road and task. Payback divides them into five types specialised for purpose. Race cars are perfect for high-speed cornering and achieving the best speeds on tarmac. Off-road cars have outstanding durability and are great at handling loose surfaces. Drag-optimised cars leave everyone in the dust while driving in a straight line, and have extra-efficient nitros. Drift cars aren't so great in terms of speed speed, but taking corners sideways is a breeze. Finally the Runners are slick, fast cars perfect for hiding from the police and losing them in traffic.

Open world

NFS: Payback (PC) doesn't just take from race to race. You can travel a large open world with several distinct environments. The lights of the casino town of Fortune Valley will shock your eyes with colors, mountains will make for switchbacks and perilous drops, you can travel through and along the edge of canyons. And the desert connects them all. Where will your eyes take you first?
