Criterion Games, a studio of Electronic Arts, announced that the driving game Burnout Paradise will be available to download from the US PLAYSTATION Network via the PLAYSTATION Store this Fall. The downloadable version of Burnout Paradise will incorporate all of the recent updates that Criterion Games has delivered directly to consumers.

Burnout Paradise offers hours of intense, high action driving in a stunning open-world that can be experienced both in single player and socially online with your friends -- but the fun does not end there. Earlier this year, Criterion Games kicked off ‘The Year of Paradise’ at www.criteriongames.com. The Year of Paradise is a year-long direct-to-consumer program where Criterion Games regularly releases new game-changing downloadable content that is designed to evolve the game beyond its initial retail release. The first update is available now (August), free of charge through the PLAYSTATION Network and Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and includes three new game modes, new cars and 70 new multi-part challenges, extending the game with hours of new gameplay. The download pack also introduces a live news page where players can track their game progress and find out news on upcoming online multiplayer events. More game-changing downloadable content is coming this Fall for Burnout Paradise, including trophy support and motorcycles free of charge through the PLAYSTATION Network and Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Burnout Paradise is now available on the PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360.
