Coming at just under 30 GB, NFS Unbound seems to be one of the smaller titles of the generation. In an era where games rack up more than 100GB of storage, this is certainly a welcome change. Additionally, a YouTuber by the handle ‘Mr Carrot’ recently uploaded a bunch of NFS Unbound footage on the platform. A Twitch user by the name gerrykurlsucks live streamed the game after getting early access.
Disclaimer: While the footage is available at the time of writing, a DMCA strike could take the video offline.
