Burnout Paradise for Switch will cost $50
EA’s racer releasing at full price for Nintendo’s console in June
Electronic Arts will release Burnout Paradise Remastered for Nintendo Switch on June 19 priced at £44.99/$49.99.
The Switch version’s price point represents a significant increase on other platforms. On PS4 the game is currently available for less than $10.
Originally released for PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2018, Burnout Paradise Remastered features the original game and eight DLC packs: Big Surf Island, Cops and Robbers, Legendary Cars, Burnout Bikes, Burnout Paradise Toys, Burnout Paradise Party, Burnout Paradise Boost, and Burnout Paradise Cagney.
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,” Steve Pointon, EA’s SVP of third-party content, said in March.
“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 re-releases—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.
