Before we get into how you could create a lobby and launch the game, there’s another thing that you need to know. NFS Unbound does offer cross-play. Meaning, that if you’re playing on PC and your friends are on XBOX/PlayStation, you can still play with them. But to do so, you’ve got to enable crossplay from the settings. Here’s how you can enable crossplay in NFS Unbound:

  • Start the game up and head to the settings
  • Look for the accessibility option and open it up.
  • Next, go to the “game” option
  • In it, find and enable “Crossplay”, you could also disable it by following the same procedure if you wish to do so. 

Now that you’re done with the same, here’s how you can add a friend and start up a multiplayer lobby:

  • Once you’ve launched the game, head to the lobby. 
  • Now, go to the Player-search area.
  • When you’re there, click on the search bar and search for your friend’s EA ID. 
  • Once you’ve entered the ID and searched for it, find your Friend’s name on the screen and send them a request.
  • Once they’ve accepted your request, you’ll be able to play with them.
  • Now, to finally get into a game, go to the lakeshore online-multiplayer mode and invite your friends to the party. Then set up the game and voila, you’re ready to roll.

Wasn’t that hard at all, was it? This might be a bit difficult for new players but once you’ve added your Friend, you’ll be able to invite them by simply heading to the Lakeshore online multiplayer mode and that’s all it takes. 

That’s everything we had on how you could play with your Friends in Need for Speed: Unbound.
