STAR WARS: Galactic Racer Launches Today, Racing Across the Outer Rim on PC, PS5, and Xbox
STAR WARS: Galactic Racer launched today, October 6, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, dropping players into the lawless Outer Rim for an arcade racing campaign built around the Galactic League circuit. Developed by Secret Mode and Fuse Games, the $59.99 racer leans hard into the podracing fantasy Star Wars fans have wanted a proper follow-up to since the Episode I: Racer days.
The singleplayer campaign follows a new character, Shade, as players forge alliances and settle rivalries across a string of Outer Rim locations, including stops inspired by Jakku-style dune worlds. Four distinct vehicle classes are available at launch: three styles of repulsorcraft, speeder bikes, landspeeders, skim speeders, and the headline attraction, full-blown podracers, each with its own handling profile and build customization options for engine tuning, stabilizers, and cosmetic liveries.
Podracers, Speeders, and a New Hero in Shade
Outside the campaign, Galactic Racer ships with competitive online multiplayer races from day one. Anyone who pre-ordered gets a free exclusive livery and player banner background to flex in those lobbies. The game includes Denuvo Anti-Tamper protection, and a controller is recommended over keyboard and mouse for the tighter vehicle classes.
Where to Play and How to Pay For It
