Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered patch #2 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. The new update will feature a new wrap editor, improved resolution, performance and more.
Racers on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X version, will see an improved 4K resolution at 60 FPS. Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro fans will get 4K resolution, uncapped at 50+ FPS.
The brand new wrap editor is similar to the one found in Need For Speed Heat. It will allow players to create detailed designs and custom liveries for any of their vehicles.
User will be able to choose the wrap editor or pre-made wraps from the color picker in the showroom. Making your own wraps can be time consuming, so they offer pre-made ones you can apply.
Here are some of the functionalities in the new wrap editor:
- Player-made wraps are personal only – they cannot be shared between players
- Customized wraps can be seen in online races, including in cross-play
- The decal limit for each wrap is 300 decals or 100 MB, whichever is reached first
- Functionality to report inappropriate wraps has been implemented at the end screen of a multiplayer race.
