Both corporations announced an 11-title publishing alliance to premiere many of Sega's upcoming games on the platform. Chief Xbox officer, [[Robert J. Bach|Robbie Bach]], stated that "having Sega on board with Xbox is a huge win for gamers around the world". Bach also stated that "the creative artists at Sega not only are going to deliver great Xbox games, they will help us establish the benchmark for great Xbox gaming experiences both on and offline". Sega of America president and CEO, [[Peter Moore (businessman)|Peter Moore]], commented: "We believe that Microsoft will be very successful with Xbox, which is why we have such a close, strategic relationship with them. Our world-renowned development studios have been very impressed with the Xbox hardware, and they are excited to bring new gaming experiences to consumers by utilizing the platform's power and network capabilities.

The development schedule was one year and one month, and it was difficult to release it in time for the launch of the Xbox in Japan, as well releasing it worldwide soon after. The goal was to increase the sense of speed, which required making the world bigger. Graffiti spraying was also streamlined to keep the fast pace. The development environment of the Xbox made it easy to develop, and the team felt that they pushed the Xbox as far as they could at the time.<ref name="4gamer">{{Cite web |last=Inamoto |first=Tetsuya |title=［インタビュー］"ショウワ99年"記念！ 「ジェットセットラジオ」開発陣がシリーズ誕生秘話と完全新作への意気込みを語る |url=https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999903/20240307087/ |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=[[4Gamer.net]] |language=ja}}</ref>

The game reverted back to its original name as the trademark problems were resolved.
