Burnout Paradise servers will close in August

18 Apr 2019

Burnout Paradise servers will close in August, developer Criterion has confirmed.

“Burnout Paradise fans, after over 11.5 years of service, the servers for the original 2008 game will be closing on August 1st 2019,” Criterion wrote on Twitter. “That affects Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions. Offline play will still be available of course, and Burnout Paradise Remastered servers are unaffected.”

As the developer mentioned, servers for Burnout Paradise Remastered, recently released to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4, will remain online. Despite being forced to by this move, perhaps it’s a decent time to upgrade?

We reviewed Burnout Paradise Remastered here. Are you playing either version of the game now? If so, which one?

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
