PvP (Player vs. Player) in Need for Speed: Unbound is a segment of the multiplayer Lakeshore Online mode and is the matchmaking alternative to the free roam segment.
Introduced with the release of Volume 6, it allows up to 8 total players to participate in matchmade playlists across multiple pools containing various playlist options.
All players in a PvP session can select a pool to join and will be entered into a corresponding playlist against other players for bank towards their vehicle or experience points towards their rank.
Pools[]
Pools in PvP are a selection of themed, evnet type, or performance tier related brackets containing a selection of associated playlists.
Selecting a pool will matchmake a player into a playlist against other players having selected the same pool.
Rotation[]
The selection of available pools includes four rotating featured playlists, with some themed playlists being featured for an entire week or alternative daily with similar themed playlists.
The four pools offered - Themed, Drag & Drift, Hot Pursuit, and Car Tiers and Bikes - refresh every day at 11:30 (UTC).
Prior to the release of Volume 7, a Quick Play pool would matchmake players into any of the available pools, two featured pools would be available all week refreshing every Monday at 00:00 (UTC), and a tier-specific pool would rotate daily at 00:00 (UTC).[1]
