How do you delete your savegame in the new Need for Speed Unbound? How to restart the story and start again? This may be the question asked in the last few days by one or other player who recently bought the racing game from Electronic Arts for the PC or console and now wants to start the story from the beginning. If you start the game and look for an option like “Create a new savegame” or “Delete a savegame” in the main menu or in the settings, then you won’t find much at the moment. The question arises, is the function just well hidden or is there no way to delete the save game or create a second save game?
Reboot NfS Unbound Story and start again
The short answer is, no, unfortunately you cannot delete the save file directly from the game. This applies to both the PC version and the console version on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. As in NfS Heat, the developers have not created an option in the new NfS part to directly create a second save game or delete the old one. But don’t worry, because there is of course the option to delete the save file outside of the game.
Delete saved game on PC
If you play Need for Speed Unbound on the PC and want to start the story from the beginning, you have to proceed as follows.
- Quit the game, open Windows Explorer and open the directory “C:\Users\username\Documents\Need for Speed(TM) Unbound)” (username must be replaced with your own Windows username).
- In the folder you will find the subdirectory “SaveGame” in which the game status is saved. You can now delete the folder or simply rename it (the latter makes sense if you want to keep the old save and restore it later).
Delete save files on PS5 and Xbox One
On the console you have to delete the saved game via the console settings.
- PlayStation 5: Settings – Storage – Console Storage – Saved Data – Select NfS Unbound and delete data.
- Xbox Series: Open my games and apps, select the game, use the menu button to select “Manage game and add-ons” and then delete the game status under “Saved data”.
Since, as mentioned above, there was no way to delete or reset a save file directly from the game in NfS Heat, you probably shouldn’t get your hopes up that this will change in the new Need for Speed Unbound.
