NFS Unbound: Game length - how long is the story mode Need for Speed Unbound guide

This page of our guide explains how long it takes to beat Need for Speed Unbound. We describe the game's main storyline, secrets and challenges.

1. NFS features a singleplayer campaign as well as multiplayer. Multiplayer is where you'll most likely spend the bulk of your playtime, competing with other players. If you wish to stick to singleplayer, you can beat the main storyline in 10-15 hours, excluding side activities and hunting for achievements.

1. We recommend beating challenges once you get a good enough car: each challenge shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes, resulting in about three more hours of playtime. You can also spend a lot of time looking for secrets if you decide against using a guide. Achievements, however, shouldn't pose much of a problem, as most of them are related to secrets, races and police chases.
2. Ultimately, your total playtime will depend on how you approach the game and how often you fail certain events, such as races rewarding you with new cars - they have high signing fees and only the first place gets any sort of reward. Additionally, reaching the race sites and escaping the police can also take a long time.
