Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered was a competent update when it arrived last year, but it was missing a few options for players who were looking to put their own spin on the game's stylish collection of cars. That's being rectified in a big update, as a livery editor is being added to the game, alongside a few performance upgrades this week.
The new wrap editor will let players to create elaborate designs and custom liveries for any of their cars, and functions similarly to the customization options from Need for Speed Heat according to EA. To use it, select a car and next to the color picker you'll see two more symbols. The wrap editor has a limit of 300 decals or 100 MB depending on which threshold is reached first, and these creations can be seen in online races, including in cross-play.
