The Vol.5 update brings with it Linkup areas that now cover all 14 areas, 75 Speed Pass levels, and a host of new vehicles to unlock for free alongside some new premium content.

All 14 LINKUP AREAS

Contribute most to come out as MVP in locations including the Yams Wind Farm, Marigold Golf Course, and Jefferson Quarry.

NEW SPEED PASS CONTENT

As with all previous Volumes, 75 refreshed free ranks in Speed Pass are waiting for you with some wild retro kaleidoscopic cosmetics and customizations. Reach rank 50 and you’ll cruise the scene in the Buick Grand National GNX (1987).

REFRESHED CHALLENGES

Prove your notoriety by taking on over sixty new Daily, Weekly, and One-Shot Challenges in Vol.5. Tackle all this alongside more than 150 previously featured Challenges too, helping you earn XP and build your Bank.

Think you’re up to the task of getting 25 near misses in any BMW whilst being chased by cops? If so, you’ll unlock the fresh BMW M2 Coupé (2023).

NEW PREMIUM DLC

With the launch of Vol.5, we’ve added three new Premium DLC packs* that are ready and waiting to go. Here’s what’s in the store. 

Trick or Street Swag Pack

Show you’ve reached the top of the scene and you’re not going anywhere in the Legendary Custom MINI John Cooper Works Countryman '17, part of the new Trick or Street Swag Pack. This premium pack contains an incredible range of classically designed artwork inspired by the rubber hose style of the golden age of American animation. These designs are featured across items including a clothing pack, Skeleton Head mask, a driving effect, an exclusive horn, and more.

Volkswagen Beetle (1963) Legendary Custom Pack

This pack gets you the Legendary Custom Volkswagen Beetle (1963) (custom bodykit and livery) AND a 10 level Speed Pass boost, which will reward you with 10 exciting new cosmetic or customization items! Use it wisely, as it doesn’t take you past rank 75, and the boost kicks in as soon as the pack is purchased!

Vol.5 Customs Pack

Last but not least, the Vol.5 Customs Pack features three new custom builds to get your hands-on. The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (2017), BMW i8 Coupé (2018), and the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe (2018).
