“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.

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.
AGENT OF CHAOS: Burnout wants you to be reckless!
Burnout Paradise Remastered delivers the complete original game and all additional main DLC packs ever released.
Including the Cops and Robbers pack, Legendary Cars, Burnout Bikes, and Big Surf Island, with new locations, challenges, and vehicles to discover. Send cars launching, spinning, and scraping through the city, and wreck friends online or join forces to demolish hundreds of online challenges.
