Speed Pass in Need for Speed: Unbound is a multiplayer progression system introduced with the release of Volume 3 on June 20, 2023.
Made up of 75 levels, players are able to progress and increase their level through earning experience points (XP), which can be earned in the multiplayer Lakeshore Online mode by completing playlists, daily or weekly challenges, and Linkups.
As players increase their level, they are rewarded with unique items for their cars, character, and banner.
The selection of rewards offered through the Speed Pass resets each volume, meaning rewards offered can only be acquired from a volume's current Speed Pass for the duration of that current volume. Once a volume concludes, the selection of rewards is refreshed.
