Where to Find Gas Stations in Need for Speed Unbound

Gas Stations actually aren’t all that difficult to find when playing Need for Speed Unbound. Because of its open-world approach, you’ll actually be able to find a lot of them. Each found Gas Station will show up on your map and mini-map as well. There are a couple per district, so you’ll have quite a few to find in the expansive open world of Lakeshore.

Typically, you’ll be able to find Gas Stations right off the road, just like in real life. During the day, they’re pretty easy to spot because of their massive size but at night they’re even harder to miss, as they glow with bright blue neon lights. This makes them really easy to use, especially during races, as you can drive through them without really missing a beat from the race. That’s thanks to how well the development team placed them, with a clear way to drive directly through them.
