On March 22, 2025, a Steam page for Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing was discovered despite no such re-release being announced prior. This led many to suspect the listing was fake, as the publisher was a Hong Kong-based company called Margarite Entertainment with no prior releases, the header had been taken from SteamGridDB, and the client icon appeared to be AI-generated. In response to these concerns, Margarite Entertainment made a community post on Steam claiming that they had acquired the rights to the game as well as other titles, and that the SteamGridDB was simply altered box art. The re-release was officially revealed with a trailer on April Fool's Day of that year, with a release set for a week later on April 8th. The original YouTube description for the trailer contained a Google Drive download link to a copy of the trailer that also accidentally included a folder containing sensitive business documents and bank information relating to Margarite Entertainment, but was removed from the upload the following day.
