It is a key that will allow you to download the game Need for Speed Payback on your PC from official download platforms.
As of 05/12/2025, in United States, the best price we have found in our selection of online stores that include the key for Need for Speed Payback on PC is €2.96.
The Origin Key format is what we always recommend due to its ease of use and higher security compared to any other format. You just need to redeem the key in your account to download Need for Speed Payback to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.
The only issue we’ve encountered in 13 years is receiving a duplicate key that doesn’t work. In that case, simply contact the store where you bought Need for Speed Payback, and they will provide a new key. You can also contact us, and we’ll help you out.
Delivery times vary by store. For example, in the case of Instatgaming, Eneba, G2a, or Kinguin, delivery is usually instant or takes just a few minutes. These stores rarely delay game deliveries.
Other stores may take 30–40 minutes depending on game availability. On release days, delivery times may be slightly longer.
If you notice an unusually long delay, contact the store or us, and we’ll resolve it as quickly as possible.
At Gocdkeys, we only list the most well-known stores that have passed our quality checks. One of the most important factors is good customer support, and all listed stores offer it.
There have been occasions when those services were overwhelmed, which is why we also offer 24/7 customer support to help resolve any issues or questions.
In any case, we always offer a 100% guarantee, so you won’t have any problems, and if you do, we’ll resolve them as soon as possible.

much better handling than 2015 but still not where it should be at, the cops are better but the chases only happen on specific events with a route that is needed to be followed, main issue though is the upgrade system, why speed cards when the upgrade system in 2015 worked well

nice game, very nice gameplay, lots races, diferent races, good handling car, good graphic, nice story, future i buy nfs payback, worth for multiplayer
