Players were, to put it politely, confused by a store listing for the newly-announced Burnout Paradise Remastered that included a mention of microtransactions - but EA's now clarified that it was an error.



Just a heads up, but the store listing for #BurnoutParadise that mentions "In-game purchases optional" is an error. There is no MTX or any additional paid for content. Pitch forks down please. pic.twitter.com/hPX8gLKiAG — Ben Walke (@BenWalke) February 21, 2018

EA's Ben Walke took to Twitter to clarify that this was a mistake, not an added feature:A re-release of the 2008 open-world classic, Burnout Paradise Remastered will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One on March 16 , with a PC version to follow on an unannounced date. It will include all the original game's DLC as part of the package.The addition of microtransactions wouldn't have made a great deal of sense in what appears to be an upgraded copy of the original, so it's good to see we're getting what we thought we were.Wondering what all the fuss is about? Check out our original review of the game , where we suggest "if you're even a remote fan of racing games, be sure to check this out."
