Need for Speed Update 1.05 Today Adds Snapshot Pro, Wrap Sharing, New Trophies

Now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Need for Speed update 1.05, also known as the Showcase update, adds Snapshot Pro, Wrap Sharing, new Trophies, and more.

Reportedly a 1.75GB download, here’s what you need to know about today’s Need for Speed update:

Snapshot Pro

Building an awesome ride is only part of the fun, the other is showcasing it for the world to see. That’s why we’re introducing Snapshot Pro, a mode which will allow you to create some stunning photos of your favorite car.

Hit start to get to phone screen, then select Snapshot Pro from the phone menu. You’ll then be able to maneuver the camera around the car, apply a number of custom settings such as depth of field, brightness, contrast, vignette, saturation and more. You’ll also be able to apply a number of pre-set filters, allowing you to achieve great results in a very short amount of time.

Wrap Sharing

Wrap Sharing has been one of the most requested features to date and because of this we’re adding a new option within the Paint and Wrap section that will allow you to browse and download wraps shared by other players. If you’re a wrap creator then simply mark your creation as shareable and it’ll show up for everyone else.

Downloading and applying a community made wrap is as easy as heading into the community wrap section in the ‘Paint and Wrap’ section, finding one that you like and hitting the download button. Once downloaded you’ll then be able to apply it to your ride and even edit and tweak it should you wish.

Customization Items

Customization continues to be something we see you talking about and requesting more of, which is why we’ll be following in the footsteps of the Legends update and adding another 100+ new customization items in this update.

In total, eleven new cars will be getting new parts: Ford Focus RS, Chevrolet Camaro Z28, BMW M3 E92, Ford Mustang Boss 302, Ford Mustang Foxbody, Ford Mustang GT, Mazda MX5 (2015), NISSAN 180sx Type X, NISSAN Silvia Spec-R, SUBARU BRZ Premium, SUBARU Impreza WRX

Multiplayer

Want to test your skills against other people? We’ve added a “Competitive” option at the front menu which will see you placed in a game with other players who are also looking to race competitively. Or, select “Alldrive” and you can experience Need for Speed as it is now.

License Plates

You’ll now have the option to customize the license plate on your car, giving you even more options to personalize your ride.

You’ll be able to choose from a selection of backgrounds from past NFS games including; Redview, Fairhaven, Palmont City, Rockport, Olympic City, Bayview and Tri City Bay. Alongside the backgrounds you’ll also be able to apply a number of frames to complete the look.

Gas Stations

Players of previous NFS games will be familiar with the gas stations and their ability to repair your car. Something we heard directly from you, the NFS community, is that you wanted this functionality brought back. You missed the option of having your car look new again, instead of having to wear the scars of racing until you ventured back to the garage.

As such, all gas stations in Ventura Bay will now repair your car, free of charge. Simply drive your car through the station and it’ll be looking as good as new. And to help you out further, we’ll be adding all gas stations as points of interest on the map.

New Trophies and Achievements

  • Filter Addict – Take a Snapshot with a Filter in Snapshot Pro Mode
  • Wrap Artist – Share a Wrap with the Need for Speed Community
  • Climbing the Ranks – Reach Monthly Rank 10 by completing Daily Challenges

Additionally, the update includes bug fixes for Eddie’s challenge, stability fixes, and a variety of tweaks and improvements including AI, player feedback, Gameplay, and World. You’ll also find more improvements and bug fixes to multiplayer: “You can now play with like-minded people, if you want to play competitive then you can now select this option when matchmaking and join a world with people who also want to play competitive.”

You can learn more about Snapshot Pro by heading over to the Need for Speed website.
