On February 11th, 2016 the game was made backwards compatible with the Xbox One which despite the gameplay only dropping the occasional frame over the original Xbox 360 release the online replay system in which users could share a video replay of a successful run through any given track does not work in any regard on the Xbox ONE backwards compatible version of the game.
A PC version of the game was bundled inside of a special edition release of Trials Evolution though the physics of the game were altered somewhat to match that of the sequel. It is the third game in the popular Trials series and was developed by RedLynx Ltd. Trials HD was released as part of Xbox Live's Summer of Arcade on the 12th of August 20 Microsoft Points for the Xbox 360.
