Criterion Games designer Simon Phipps has announced over on the official PlayStation Blog that the highly anticipated Codename: Cagney update is now available for Burnout Paradise on PS3. Best of all, it’s free. All PS3 gamers need to do is load up the game – the rest is handled automatically.

The update includes a bunch of new online game modes, new vehicles and a range of other enhancements and fixes. In addition, the update includes the game’s new Live Page, which does two things, as Phipps explains:

“First, it serves up news about the game – so that’s news about updates and the kind of stuff you’d expect on criteriongames.com, but it’s also news about what’s happening in the game – so, expect to find news about what you’ve done in Paradise City as well as about what’s happening online, like when we hit the 100 millionth crash, for example.

“Secondly (and this is the really, really cool bit), it’s where we can, using the Game Calendar, create what we’re calling ‘Live Broadcast Gameplay’.”

You’ll find more info on the Cagney update over on the official PlayStation blog. The Xbox 360 version of the update is running a few days behind the PS3 and should be ready on July 14.
