Aspyr Media revealed today that they will finally be bringing the revitalized version of Star Wars Episode I: Racer to Xbox One. The game was originally released for PS4 and Switch owners as they managed to modernize the classic N64 racing title and give it a new breath of life with updated graphics and controls while keeping most of the original title intact. Now Xbox Players can jump in on the action and get their racer going in some of the toughest courses you'll ever see from a Star Wars title. We have more details below from the company as well as a trailer showing it off on an Xbox.
