Need for Speed: New Update Includes Photo Mode, 100+ Customization Items

EA's new Need for Speed wasn't launched in the best of states. However, the studio is working to fix some big issues players have complained about by releasing a lot of highly requested content in its upcoming patch. These changes are expected to bring a lot of improvements to the game.

The update is dubbed Showcase and has been dated for a February 3 release. It includes a new photo mode called Snapshot Pro, which allows you to frame and take your own screenshots in the game using an in-game tool and share what you take with others or save them to download. 

The update also includes 100 new customization items, to be added to vehicles in the game. 

Additionally, there will be a new competitive multiplayer mode to make it easy for players to find others to race against with online without having to dive through the open world mode.
