Burnout Paradise Remastered, developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts, is a modernized version of the beloved 2008 arcade racing classic Burnout Paradise. Set in the sprawling and vibrant open world of Paradise City, this remastered edition delivers the same pulse-pounding, high-speed racing action with updated visuals, smoother performance and all previously released expansion content included.
 

Paradise City is a seamless urban and wilderness playground, featuring highways, mountain passes, downtown districts, beaches and industrial zones. Players can explore the entire map freely, challenging AI competitors in races, time trials, road rage events and unique stunt runs. The game blends structured objectives with emergent fun—whether chasing a record time, launching spectacular crashes or simply tearing through traffic at breakneck speed.
 

The core Burnout philosophy rewards risky driving. Dangerous maneuvers such as narrowly avoiding collisions, drifting close to walls and high-speed lane switching build up boost energy, which can be used to achieve higher speeds or trigger cinematic takedowns of rivals. Crashes are spectacular and satisfying, featuring dynamic physics, slow-mo effects and dramatic carnage.
 

Remastered visuals and audio bring Paradise City to life with sharper textures, improved lighting and a vibrant soundtrack that matches the game’s chaotic pace. Additional content from the original’s DLC—such as Big Surf Island—adds new areas and challenges that expand the experience.
 

Burnout Paradise Remastered also supports online multiplayer, allowing players to join friends or strangers for co-op events, competitive races and community challenges. From classic races to impromptu crash competitions and convoy cruising, the multiplayer component keeps the action lively long after the single-player content is completed.
 

With its blend of arcade speed, reckless thrills, and seamless open-world freedom, Burnout Paradise Remastered remains one of the most exhilarating and accessible racing experiences available.
