“We want to give players more choice by delivering games they love to the platforms they want to play on,” said Steve Pointon, SVP, 3rd Party Content.

“Burnout Paradise Remastered is a high-octane, action-packed experience for a whole new generation of players on the Nintendo Switch who can soon experience the excitement of an open-world racing game anywhere, anytime.”

What is Burnout Paradise?

Originally released in 2008 on Xbox 360 and PS3, the remastered game hit Xbox One and PS4 in 2018.

The open-world game is not set to a rigid framework like other racers. In a race you could follow any route you like to get to the finish line, while Showtime asked you to bounce the vehicle around for as long as possible to gain points and create carnage.
