AND IT’S FREE!
Need for Speed Payback will soon be adding an online free roam option for all players. This free DLC update will let friends start lobbies and explore the game’s world to their heart’s content. The mode was announced via the official Need for Speed Twitter account with further clarification of its free status.

Need for Speed Payback has a lot of problems, but one of the biggest omissions was online free roaming lobbies. This was a feature present in the last iteration of the series, so one has to wonder why EA and Ghost Games thought it necessary to exclude it in Payback. At least that is now being rectified, though the release date is anybody’s guess.
