Criterion Games today announced it will be releasing a remastered version of its popular racing game, Burnout Paradise, for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Burnout Paradise Remastered will release on March 16, 2018, and will support high-resolution textures, and 4K/60fps on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. The remastered version will include the base game, along with the eight DLCs released for it, including the extension to the drivable world with Big Surf Island. The PC version will release sometime later in the year.

EA Access subscribers on the Xbox One will get a head start where they will be able to play the game a week ahead of launch, starting on March 9, 2018.



“When people think of Criterion Games, they often remember the Burnout franchise and for good reason. What we created 10 years ago, is as fun and unique today as it was back then,” said Matt Webster, General Manager at Criterion Games. “Burnout Paradise is an open world arcade racer built to provide players the thrill of racing with their friends, in a free form way that’s both seamless and immersive. Featuring Criterion’s trademark speed and destruction with awesome stunts and spectacular crashes. With the release of this remaster, we’re able to share this action-packed ride and innovate online vehicle with a whole new generation of players.”

Burnout Paradise originally released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in 2008. In our IGN review, we praised the game for its “unseen” open-world, and adding that “Criterion has once again delivered a racing experience that can best be described as controlled chaos, one where even crashing is immensely rewarding.” We gave it a solid 8.8/10.
