Need for Speed Payback’s Speedcross Update is Live

As part of the update, new abandoned cars will start to appear, hidden within Fortune Valley. Find the first car, a Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, escape the cops and keep it! Once you’ve acquired the car, it will then be available to purchase from a dealership of your choice.

The update also includes a number of new BMW M Performance parts, Drift Runs and steering wheel support.
