Need for Speed ​​Unbound: Play split screen for two on one console?

Can you play the new Need for Speed ​​Unbound in split screen? Is there a game mode in NfS Unbound that allows two players to play together on a console in front of a TV with one player offline? This may be the question asked in the last few days by one or other player who has bought the new Need for Speed ​​part for the PlayStation 5, Xbox One or even the PC. In addition to a single-player mode with an extensive campaign, the game of course also has an extensive multiplayer mode. When it comes to multiplayer, the question that often arises is, what does offline multiplayer actually look like and can you also play NfS Unbound in split screen?

Offline multiplayer and split screen?

The short answer to the question is, no, the new Need for Speed ​​Unbound does not have offline multiplayer. As in the last NfS part Heat, there is no split-screen mode in the new Unbound where you can play together with another player on one screen. This applies to both the PC and console versions on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.

Since NfS Heat didn’t get split-screen support even after the release, you probably shouldn’t have the highest hopes that anything will change in the new NfS Unbound in the future. If you want to play Need for Speed ​​Unbound with friends, you can only do so via online multiplayer. Thanks to crossplay support, you can now play together on the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series regardless of platform.

If, contrary to what is currently expected, something changes regarding offline multiplayer and split-screen mode, we will of course add the information here.

Need for Speed ​​Unbound Lower wanted level: delete heat level?


Anyone who has already driven one or two races in the new Need for Speed ​​Unbound will certainly have already made the acquaintance of the police. Depending on the offense or which race you have run and whether it is day or night, the wanted level can increase from 1 to level 5. While it is usually quite easy to outrun and escape the police at the first two levels, it becomes more difficult at the higher levels. This is partly because the police are reinforced with better vehicles and there is even a helicopter circling above you, which you can’t shake off so easily. In this situation, the question often arises: How can you lower the wanted level and get rid of the police completely?

NfS Unbound: Lower the wanted level and delete it?

If you manage to get out of the police’s field of vision and escape, the wanted status remains intact and the police continue to search for your car. While most races increase the wanted level, especially the night races, there are also some activities that can reduce the heat level. This includes some activities such as taking a car from A to B, which can be used to reduce a heat level of 5 to level 3. Otherwise, you can only lower and reset your wanted level by either going to a garage or hiding place and taking the money you earned during the session to safety, or by allowing yourself to be arrested by the police. If you get caught by the police and arrested, then the money you earned in the session is lost.

Unlike in other racing games or open-world games like Grand Theft Auto 5, in NfS Unbound you cannot get rid of the wanted level from level 2 onwards and completely remove it by simply hiding somewhere, turning off the engine and waiting. There are also no NPCs or buildings where you can lower or reset the wanted level for payment.

If you can’t escape the police at wanted level 5, we have a little trick on the next page that you can use to always escape the police.

Tip: You can use this trick to quickly earn money in Need for Speed ​​Unbound.

Need for Speed ​​Unbound change music? Skip song?


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.

  1. Open the pause menu in the game and open the settings.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).

Need for Speed ​​Unbound Clear save: Restart story

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.

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
