The second patch for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered adds a Wrap Editor and a next-gen performance boost.
The rather spiffing update of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered receives its second patch today, which adds a host of bug fixes and improvements, plus a new Wrap Editor feature.
The Wrap Editor – which will be familiar to players of more recent games in the series – allows for vehicle customisation using colours and decals. It’s a pretty neat addition, and although your creations can’t be shared with other players, they can be seen in online races, including cross-play games.
Patch 2 is also a welcome update for players on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. The game now runs at 4K and 60FPS.
Here are the full patch notes for the update.
