/// Beating The Buy-Ins: The Unbound Save And Platinum
Game start save for $50: 12,000,000 story cash and a garage upgraded to its top tier
A maxed Nissan Z Prototype and Ferrari Testarossa Coupé, plus every clothing item bought
All 42 trophies, the 10 Lakeshore Online ones included, from $15 with instant timestamps
Need for Speed Unbound puts a price on everything in Lakeshore. Every Saturday ends in a buy-in event, a Qualifier in Weeks 1 to 3 and The Grand in Week 4, priced from 20,000 up to 200,000. Each one also wants a car in the right tier. Get busted by the police and you lose all the bank from that day or night session, and the session is burned for the week. Our Need for Speed Unbound game start save takes money out of the equation. The Need for Speed Unbound Platinum Trophy service covers the 42-trophy list, Lakeshore Online included.
The save costs $50 and holds 12,000,000 in single-player money. Your story garage is fully upgraded, every clothing item is already bought for your driver, and a Nissan Z Prototype and a Ferrari Testarossa Coupé sit in the garage, both maxed. We deliver it on PS5 and PC. Want the platinum as well? Tick it at checkout for +$15 with instant timestamps or +$25 with real ones.

What 12 Million Does To The Four Weeks
The story runs on a calendar. Each day has a day session and a night session, and Saturday night is the Qualifier. Week 1 asks for an A tier car and a 20,000 buy-in. Week 2 wants A+ and 50,000, and Week 3 wants S and 100,000. The Grand costs 200,000 and needs one car in each tier from A to S+. Early races pay a few thousand at a time, so on a normal run those buy-ins decide how you spend the whole week.
With 12 million banked, the buy-in stops being the question. You can build a fresh car for each tier instead of rebuilding one, which is the standard advice before The Grand. You can also pay into the pricey night races that put a car up as the prize, and back yourself with side bets against rivals. One rule stays: a bust still costs everything you earned in that session. Cash that is already banked is not at risk in a chase.
The Garage, The Wardrobe And Two Maxed Cars
Garage upgrades decide which performance parts you can buy. There are three of them, Pro, Super and Elite, and together they cost 157,500 in story cash. The save has all three done. Trophy guides suggest paying for one a week, with Elite in Week 3.
The Ferrari Testarossa Coupé is the 1984 flat-12 Ferrari with the long side strakes, and the garage sells it for 235,000. The Nissan Z Prototype is the 2020 concept car that previewed the new Nissan Z. Both arrive maxed. Your driver gets the full wardrobe as well. Every clothing item is bought, so the Character menu is open for any look.
What Stands Between You And The Platinum
Trophy guides rate the list 4 out of 10 and put it at 40-50 hours. Nothing is missable. Miss a Qualifier buy-in or lose the final race, and the game sends you back to Friday to try again. One story playthrough is enough. The cleanup is where the hours go.
Cleaning Up, a gold, wants all 260 collectibles and 3 stars on all 160 activities. That means 100 bears, 80 street art pieces and 80 billboards, plus 30 Speed Runs, 45 Long Jumps, 35 Drift Zones and 50 Speed Traps. Catch My Drift, the Drift Zone silver, is one of the rarest trophies on the list. Flow Master asks for 250,000 points in a single Takeover, the A$AP Rocky events where you chain drifts, jumps and smashed props. Untouchable wants 50 escaped cop chases in story mode.
Lakeshore Online Has Its Own Ten
Online progress is separate from the story, with its own garage, its own bank and its own upgrades. The 12 million in our save is story money and stays there. Mixtape, a gold, asks for 25 finished playlists, which is 75 races. You also need a playlist win in each of the B, A, A+, S and S+ tiers, and Mixed Tier playlists don't count toward them.
Full House is the one that drags. You have to finish a three-race playlist with seven other players, and nobody can quit before the last race ends. A party holds only four players, so strangers have to fill the rest of the grid and stay to the finish.

FAQs
Can I spend the 12 million in Lakeshore Online?
No. It is story-mode money. Lakeshore Online keeps its own garage, bank and garage upgrades, so online cash is earned there.
Is the save for PS5 or PC?
Both. Choose PS5 or PC on the product page before checkout. On PlayStation, Need for Speed Unbound is a PS5 game.
Will a bust still cost me money?
Only the bank from the session you are in. The police seize what you earned in that session, and the session ends. Cash you have already banked stays in your account.
How long does the Need for Speed Unbound platinum take?
Trophy guides estimate 40-50 hours: one story playthrough, 260 collectibles, 3 stars on 160 activities and at least 25 Lakeshore Online playlists. Ordered from us, the full list takes 2-24 hours.
Does the platinum service include the online trophies?
Yes. It covers all 42 trophies, the 10 Lakeshore Online ones such as Full House and Mixtape included: 29 bronze, 8 silver, 4 gold and the platinum.
Which Unbound trophies make people give up?
Catch My Drift and Cleaning Up, for the 3-star grind across every activity. Flow Master, for its 250,000-point Takeover. Full House, because eight drivers have to finish one online playlist together.
