Need for Speed Unbound: the requirements you need to play it to the fullest

There are not many sagas that are as legendary and recognized in the world of video games as Need for Speed . Since it reared its head for the first time in that glorious version of 3DO, in 1994, more than 18 years ago, it has experienced periods of absolute success, combining them with others that contributed nothing to the lore of the franchise. Now, luckily, we will have a new installment that Electronic Arts has called Unbound .

A key game for the future

It is obvious that Need for Speed was not going through its prime when it arrived in 2019 Need for Speed Heat . So much so that from Electronic Arts they have thought a lot about how to do it this time and the answer has been Unbound . A delivery much more focused on fun, on challenges and that recovers the original DNA of escaping from the police and receiving rewards for illegal actions (especially behind the wheel).

In addition, Need for Speed Unbound stands out for its renewed graphic aspect, which is completely different from what was seen in previous games where realism was increasingly sought, so it leaves all the power of seduction in its cartoon aspect as in the movie SpiderMan A New Universe . Something that, let’s not forget, has caused some criticism from the more traditional sectors of the franchise’s fanbase , who don’t see how this new installment fits into the universe of racing games.

Be that as it may, if you are clear that you are going to buy this Need for Speed Unbound on PC, we already have the necessary requirements to play it, both on those computers with more years behind them and the most modern ones, those that will be able to boast of power and state-of-the-art graphics.

Need for Speed Unbound requirements

As always we will have two, the minimum and the recommended. The first are the following:

  • Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit.
  • Processor: Ryzen 5 2600 or Core i5-8600.
  • Memory: 8 GB of RAM.
  • Graphics card: RX 570 or Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti.
  • DirectX: Version 12.
  • Broadband internet to play online.
  • Storage: 50 GB available on disk or SSD.

However, if you want the graphical quality of the game to be the best and with practically all the presets at maximum, you will have to have, at least, a configuration similar to the one recommended. And it is this:

  • Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit.
  • Processor: Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i7-8700.
  • Memory: 16 GB of RAM.
  • Graphics card: Radeon RX5700 (8GB) or GeForce RTX 2070 (8GB).
  • DirectX: Version 12.
  • Broadband internet to play online.
  • Storage: 50 GB available on disk or SSD.

Of course, everything we upload from this latest configuration published by Electronic Arts will improve performance even more: a more current processor (Intel 11 or 12th generation), a 3xxx or 4xxx series graphics and much more RAM. Need for Speed Unbound will hit stores on December 2 with a price that on PC will be 69.99 euros. Yes, practically at the cost of consoles when in stores like Steam there are few who dare to sell themselves in that segment that borders on 70 bucks.

But we are talking about a new Need for Speed in which many fans have placed all their hopes that it will mean the triumphant return of the franchise and its subsequent definitive settlement in the current gamer scene. Will he get it?
