During this time publishing rights were transferred to Infogrames for the US while SEGA themselves saw the game's potential and handled the release in PAL territories and Japan. Infogrames chose the new name of Xtreme Sports – which is about as 'noughties' as you can get. The regional branding didn't end there as a PC version was released in 2001. Infogrames retitled it once again, going with Maximum Sports Extreme. Empire Interactive meanwhile signed a deal with Pepsi, resulting in Pepsi Max Extreme Sports. For those not keeping count, that's four name changes in total – it's no wonder nobody talks about this title when it went by so many names. Another thing that seems to have pushed it into obscurity is the amount of press coverage it received, along with the reviews it garnered. Despite being published by SEGA, this wasn't something marketed heavily in the same manner as Sonic Adventure 2 or Shenmue, coming and going without much hype.
