We introduced day / night gameplay as part of our Burnout Bikes pack.

From the second we added our first prototype motorcycle to Burnout Paradise, we wanted to cruise the streets at night. There was something eerie about riding deserted streets with minimal traffic and night visuals that we'd never experienced before in Burnout, and we knew we wanted it to be a part of the game.

Like so much of our downloadable content, we wanted this to change your game experience, so we developed a full 24 hour cycle and gameplay based on the time of day. You'll see day cycle gradually through to night and witness the city change with it.

Paradise City takes on a life of its own once the rush hour traffic thins out!

Burning Rides

During the day, you can play a variation of our Burning Routes challenges.

Burning Routes are simple against-the-clock race events in cars. They're triggered at specific junctions and ending at any of our 8 finish points.

With bikes, you need to beat target times on specific routes to complete \"Burning Rides\". The big difference here is that these routes feature multiple checkpoints - they'll take you all over the city. At night, complete a different set of routes - the "Midnight Rides".

The clock is fully customisable - you can compress a full day into 24 minute, 48 minute, 2 hours, 24 hours or have it match the time on your PlayStation clock. Alternatively, you can fix the time of day at sunrise, sunset, midnight or midday. These options are available from the \"Under The Hood\" menu - just look for \"Time of Day\".
