Ghost Games have made some changes to Need for Speed Payback following community feedback and analysis of in-game data.

The aim of the changes was to "make the progression, especially around the ownership of cars a much more enjoyable experience". The changes include:

• Increased the amount of REP awarded by taking part in events.
• Increased the amount of Bank awarded by taking part in events.
• Bait crates now reward increased REP.
• Bait crates now reward increased Bank.
• Competing against a Roaming Racer will reward you with increased REP.
• Competing against a Roaming Racer will reward you with increased Bank.
• Air Suspension will now appear more frequently within Shipments.
• Slightly increased REP and Bank for finishing an event outside of first place.

Ghost games also promised that this was only "phase one" and that they would have a lot more tweaks coming to the game soon. Changes to the way tune-up shops work "especially around the quality/level of parts they stock" were also were being worked on by Ghost.
