This is our Need For Speed Unbound Trophy Guide. The latest entry in the Need For Speed franchise, Unbound is a highly stylized take on the series.

In this guide, we’ll tell which trophies you’ll need to earn in order to get the platinum trophy for Need For Speed Unbound and we’ll give some advice along the way.

By looking at this trophy list, you’re only going to get around 30% – 35% of the trophies through story progression. The rest will come from collectibles, challenges, and online multiplayer. Which doesn’t surprise me. NFS Heat’s trophy system is structured in the same way. However, it seems as though EA has decided to lean more heavily on online play this time around.
The Cleaning Up trophy is going to be a hassle to get. Hopefully, EA has learned from their mistake and allowed us to track collectibles from launch instead of making us wait half a year. If it’s any consultation, at least all the activities are tied to silver trophies. So that’s something.
From experience, I can tell you that it is better to have multiple cars that are optimized for each activity. There’s no problem with having one car that does it all but cars built for speed aren’t the best when it comes to drifting.
Takeover events are the new unique aspect of this game. Much like how day and night events are a thing in Need For Heat. The trophies requirements don’t appear to be that steep in Need For Speed Unbound. You are still expected to overperform, and then some.
As always, earning online trophies is like playing a whole other game. But if you are already used to online play, then you shouldn’t have much trouble. Especially if you’re constantly racing and acquiring better cars all the time.
And that’s all the trophies you can expect to collect in Need For Speed Unbound. Watch out for them when the game releases on December 02, 2022.
