More than a year and a half passed, but Criterion has now fulfilled its promise: Burnout Paradise is now available on Xbox One through backward compatibility with Xbox 360.
It was in July 2015 when Criterion Games announced that Burnout Paradise would be a backwards compatible game for Xbox One, however, the studio was working during this time so that the title had no problems in the current console of Microsoft.
But this does not end the news for fans of the title, because yesterday the director of programming for Xbox LIVE, Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb announced that Burnout Paradise will be part of the Game with Gold of December, ie all subscribers of Xbox LIVE Gold can play the title at no extra cost.
To the title of shocks and racing adds up Rayman Legends and Pure as backward compatible titles. With these, more than 280 titles of Xbox 360 are now available on Xbox One.
