Need for Speed Unbound has a pretty bold new direction for the art style of the classic racing franchise. While driving around Lakeshore, players will see several over-the-top, cartoonish visual effects, and not everyone is particularly a fan.

Some aren’t a fan of the actual look, while others may be worried that this will reduce the performance of Need for Speed Unbound on their PCs. However, can you turn off all the effects in the game?

If you don't like all the bright visuals, you have a few options. Here's how to turn off most of these effects before you race.

Unfortunately, for gamers who aren’t a fan of these designs, you can’t disable the “Basic Tail Smoke” or “Trail Lights.” While this may change, there is an option that you can use in the meantime. Change those to “Cloaked” in your Driving Effects Tags, which will give them a gray color instead of the bright neon colors.

This will also disable the various symbols that would normally be visible, so it’s your best solution.

While this doesn’t 100% solve the problem, it’s the closest that gamers are going to get as of this writing. It's best to disable these effects in the game, whether you’re playing online, or
