Anyone who has spent an hour or two in Lakeshore City will probably have noticed the music in the background. Depending on what other music you listen to, one player likes the soundtrack quite well and another doesn’t like it so much. The question arises, how can you change the music? Are there such things as different radio stations and how can you introduce or skip a song?
Change music and skip song?
Yes, you can change the music in Need for Speed Unbound, but for whatever reason you have to change a setting in the audio settings.
- Open the pause menu in the game and open the settings.
- In the “Audio” settings you will find the “Free driving music” option a little further down. By default the setting is “Automatic”. Music is played permanently using “Always”, but you can then skip a song using the control pad to the right. There is no manual selection of a song; you simply have to skip through the playlist.
- By the way, there are no radio stations in Need for Speed Unbound, just the soundtrack, which you can skip through as described above. Unfortunately, there is no way to permanently remove individual songs from the playlist in the game.
Insert your own music?
Similar to its predecessor in the form of NfS Heat, you cannot insert your own music into the game in the new NfS Unbound. There is no folder where you can simply move an MP3 file and then play it in the game. An alternative would be to disable music in the game and then leave Spotify or another streaming service running in the background (works on PC as well as PS5 and Xbox Series).
