If you’re anything like me, then playing a racing game these days can be a true test of muscle memory. With various buttons to remember for the car controls alone, it’s enough to make someone confused.

And the recently released Need for Speed Unbound is no different. Luckily for you though, we’ve mapped out all of the driving controls in Need for Speed Unbound for you to lessen the load.
