Star Wars Episode I: Racer was developed and published by LucasArts for Windows PCs in April 1999. Later, the game was ported and released for several other platforms: Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Color.
The announced PlayStation version of the game was never released.
The Nintendo 64 version received a special edition Star Wars Episode I: Racer hardware bundle, including the standard gray and black console and a copy of the game. Though the Nintendo 64 cartridge takes advantage of Nintendo's Expansion Pak memory unit to display additional textures, the limited capacity of the cartridge resulted in the removal of all prerendered cutscenes seen in the Windows version.
