Need for Speed Payback

 
This isn’t just another street race—Need for Speed Payback is all about making enemies pay and earning your crew’s legend. Set in Fortune Valley, a neon-lit world of casinos and crooked deals, you’ll unleash chaos from the first burnout to the last showdown. Three playable characters, each with their own skills and attitude, join forces after betrayal to take down The House—a cartel controlling everything from cops to crime.
The Art of the Getaway
Every mission and race has teeth. Switch seamlessly between Tyler (the Racer), Mac (the Showman), and Jess (the Wheelman), picking your best driver for daring car battles, elaborate heist setups, and out-of-control pursuits. Build, tune, and customize a wild fleet—from classic muscle cars to supercars and off-road beasts. The progression is rewarding: take on races, escape capers, and leap into cinematic set pieces that feel like summer blockbusters on wheels. With open-world events, “Derelicts” to restore, and a risky betting system, there’s always one more way to win—if you’re willing to push the limit.
