Star Wars: Galactic Racer launch

Entities: Star Wars Galactic Racer · Xbox Series X|S · PlayStation 5 · Geoff Keighley · Fuse Games

Overview

Fuse Games and Secret Mode first revealed *Star Wars: Galactic Racer* at Summer Game Fest 2026, describing a Star Wars‑themed racing title that blends a runs‑based roguelite campaign with Burnout‑style, collision‑heavy races. Players assume the role of Shade, a newcomer to the illegal Galactic League, navigating a galaxy map where race selections affect rewards and can end a run after too many failures.

The game offers three vehicle classes—land, skim and speeder‑bike—customizable by engineer Hibi, and features a dual‑turbo system (Afterburner and Ramjet) that can overheat at the “Redline.” Additional modes include Eliminator, arcade challenges, scenario missions and multiplayer races on planets such as Jakku and Lantaana. Environmental hazards such as molten lava, extreme cold, and on‑foot paddock zones add tactical depth.

Developed by former Criterion veterans on Unreal Engine 5, it targets 60 fps with Nanite, Lumen, DLSS 4.5 and ray‑reconstruction. A worldwide launch is set for 6 October 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, in Standard, Deluxe and Collector’s editions. Early previews praised its aggressive crash physics, dramatic camera work and faithful blend of Star Wars lore with Burnout and Need for Speed influences.

The launch date has now been confirmed, with the game available via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Three editions will be sold: a Standard version at €59.99, a Deluxe version at €79.99 (adding three extra vehicles, unique paint, arcade events, a banner and a digital artbook), and a Collector’s Edition at €160. The title was first announced at the Game Awards in December 2025, underscoring the long‑planned marketing push surrounding its release.
