EPISODE 1 RACER Is Getting A Physical Release On PS4 And Switch

Limited Run Games has announced that they will soon be taking pre-orders on physical copies of Aspyr’s re-release of Star Wars Episode 1 Racer. Both the PS4 and Nintendo Switch editions of the game are set to be released and will include any patches released between now and mid-August when pre-orders for the tile cease. In total 3 versions of the game have been announced with a standard release, classic edition release, and collector’s edition release. Both the classic edition ($59.99) and collectors edition ($89.99) have had a price reveal but as of this publication, the standard edition’s price hasn’t. Honestly, I expect it to go for around $30 which has been typical for these Star Wars releases.

I had a feeling this was going to happen, but cool to see that it actually is! I was pretty harsh with the initial reveal of this re-release but Aspyr has really turned it around and made it a solid port. The one lingering issue I had with the Switch version of the game was the lack of lighting and suns in certain sections of the game and those got fixed in the latest update.

If you were on the fence about picking up this version of Episode 1 Racer, does the announcement of a physical edition swing your decision towards picking it up?
