The crew (Tyler, Jess and Mac) have learned that The House are transporting a car equipped with a new piece of technology that may be a key component in bringing them down. This calls for one thing: acquire the car, get hold of the tech and dent The House's plans.

But how do you get behind the wheel of a car that's being transported through the desert? Take a watch of our EA Play gameplay trailer and find out how the crew gets things done.

The Highway Heist is one of the set piece moments that takes place within Need for Speed Payback's single player campaign, which follows the story of Tyler, Jess and Mac as they set out to bring down The House.

Alongside the Highway Heist and other memorable moments you'll be able to build your perfect ride. Customize the car of your dreams, both visually and its performance, into one of five distinct car classes; Race, Drift, Off-Road, Drag and Runner. Turn a piece of scrap into a piece of art, and use it to tear up the streets and countryside of Fortune Valley.
