NFS: Shift DLC goes gratis next month
EA and Slightly Mad's street racer gains five cars and one mode in Team Racing add-on pack on 360 beginning December 1, PS3 two days later.
Need for Speed: Shift didn't make much of an impression at retail when it hit the gas on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and PSP in September. The game shifted some 300,000 units across the four platforms, though nearly all of that tally was distributed evenly between Microsoft's and Sony's consoles. Today, EA announced that those who have picked up the latest installment in its 100 million-unit franchise will be afforded a round of free downloadable content.
The Xbox 360 edition of the Team Racing pack will arrive on December 1, with the PS3 version following on December 3. The pack contains five new cars and a new mode. Of the new rides, EA will add the 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 427, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T, and 1998 Toyota Supra Mark IV.
The new mode will take the same name as the DLC pack. As its name implies, Team Racing mode sees groups of up to six gamers per side face-off against one another in ranked online circuits.
