Need for Speed Update Adds Photo Mode, Wrap-Sharing Feature, and More Next Week-November 2024
The next update for Need for Speed will arrive on February 3, introducing, among other things, a photo mode and a new competitive play option. The update, which Ghost Games has titled "Showcase," will arrive on February 3.
Need for Speed's photo mode is called Snapshot Pro. It will be accessible through the phone screen menu. You can then position the camera however you like and tinker with settings like depth of field, brightness, contrast, and saturation. As with other photo modes, Need for Speed's also comes with filters.
Also coming to Need for Speed through the February 3 update is a wrap sharing feature that lets you share your custom car wraps from the game's Paint and Wrap section. You can also download wraps that other players shared and edit them further if you like.
Other new features in Need for Speed's upcoming update includes more customization items, a new "competitive" option that you can select to race against like-minded players, license plate customization options, and gas stations spread throughout Ventura Bay. You can visit these to get your car repaired instead of needing to make the trek back to your garage.
Finally, the new update will introduce three new achievements/trophies, which are related to the new features coming to the game. You can see these and the full patch notes below.
