An expansion pack, subtitled ''Back to Hell'' (also known as ''Extended Time'' in France) was released in late 1997, adding 19 circuits and 15 new vehicles to the game. The base game, along with Back to Hell plus a new sound set, would be re-released as ''POD Gold.''
The game was later followed by a [[Dreamcast]]-only sequel titled ''POD 2: Multiplayer Online'' (released as POD: Speedzone in North America). It follows a similar premise as with the first game, in this case a viral outbreak on Saturn's moon Titan.
