Burnout Paradise Remastered announced for Switch

Electronic Arts will release Burnout Paradise Remastered for Nintendo Switch in 2020.

Launched for PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2018, the updated version of EA’s racer features the original game and eight DLC packs including Cops and Robbers, Legendary Cars, Burnout Bikes, and Big Surf Island.

The Switch version will run at 60 FPS and include touch screen map controls.

“We want to give players more choice by delivering games they love to the platforms they want to play on,” said Steve Pointon, EA’s SVP of third 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.”

EA doesn’t release many titles for Nintendo’s console – the Switch page on its site lists just five currently available games, including three FIFA ones – and when it does, they’re often stripped of the headline features available on other platforms.

The publisher said in January it remains cautious about the market opportunities on Switch, but also teased plans to release new games for the platform as it continues to grow.
