There are five car classes in Need for Speed Payback. Each class has a purpose and you will be able to use them to beat certain challenges when another car just won’t do. Here are the classes of cars you will rely on;

  • Race – High-speed action, foot to the floor
  • Drift – The cornering specialist, great at putting it sideways
  • Off-Road – Go beyond the tarmac for an all-terrain adventure
  • Drag – The straight line wheelie pulling monster
  • Runner – Get the job done, no questions asked

You’ll be able to tune your car on the fly to dial in the right performance. There are also parts that add perks, allowing you to upgrade your car not only for performance but for purpose as well. You can upgrade the following six categories of parts; Block, Head, Turbo, Exhaust, ECU, Transmission.

When you find abandoned parts throughout the world, you can collect them to make stock car and then go the next step to a super build.

There are a few Need for Speed Payback deals available already if you pre-order the game. Best Buy offers 20% off games to members of Gamers Club Unlocked, which is $30 for two years of membership. So far Amazon only sells the digital versions of these and many other EA games so you cannot save 20% off with Amazon Prime.

If you have EA Access on the Xbox One, you can play Need for Speed Payback early and also save 10% on the game when you buy it digitally.

We expect to see some other deals soon after the release date, especially with Black Friday coming two weeks later. Hopefully, Amazon will stock the physical version of the game by the release date.
