Need for Speed World adds daily Treasure Hunt and more

Last updated on January 9th, 2021 at 04:35 pm

The team behind the free-to-play online racing game Need for Speed World have been busy. In the last 24 hours they’ve announced a number of new features and content, including a new daily Treasure Hunt game.

Need for Speed World: Treasure Hunt Mode:

From now on, every day will see 15 treasure icons hidden in different parts of the Need for Speed World, with the map showing the general area in which each item is hidden. And when you’re close, the treasure radar will show the direction and distance for you to drive through it and pick it up, with a record of how many you have collected. Get all 15 on the same day, before they reset at midnight GMT, and you’ll earn Rep and Cash rewards.

Team Need for Speed BMW Z4 GT3:

The Dubai 24 Hour winning Team Need for Speed BMW Z4 GT3 is now available in Need for Speed World, which is a nice celebration, if a bit oddly timed after both Need for Speed cars failed to finish the Nurburgring 24 Hours last weekend, but still…

Latest Patch Notes:
