Criterion have revealed via their website that the patch to add motorbikes to Burnout Paradise will release this Thursday.

The free update, codenamed Davis, offers a couple of bikes to race around on, as well as a day-night cycle that opens new event types such as midnight rides.

Criterion have also revealed that there are around 38 against-the-clock races being added, plus 70 extra Freeburn Challenges and a fancy in-game weather system.

Biplanes, PS3 Trophies and additional islands to explore are all planned for future updates as the developer continues to support the game.
