Fuse Games and Secret Mode continue promoting *Star Wars: Galactic Racer* ahead of its October 6, 2026, launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The title blends a runs-based roguelite campaign with collision-heavy races set in a post-Empire era. In August 2026, Fuse Games announced the title has officially “gone gold.” Developer Matt Webster confirmed the game will not feature a season pass, opting to avoid common live-service monetization models in favor of a solid initial experience and post-launch content. To maintain Star Wars canon, Anakin Skywalker will not be included at launch, as the setting follows a timeline where certain characters are no longer alive. Recent updates have expanded on gameplay mechanics. The Multiplayer Tour, a championship-style campaign, supports up to 12 players competing across multiple planets. This mode includes a betting system where players wager on finishing positions to earn credits and rare vehicle parts, alongside a “build-chase” mechanic for vehicle upgrades. New details regarding vehicle classes highlight the Speeder Bikes as the most aggressive type, offering extreme acceleration but fragile frames. Players must manage a “Ramjet system” that generates heat; excessive use can cause the vehicle to break apart. Developers noted that vehicles will reach velocities between 300 and 1,000 km/h, requiring specific technical approaches to convey high speeds for hovering vehicles. In September 2026, the developers introduced the “skim speeder” via the “Under the Hood with Hibi” series. This vehicle is designed to balance the agility of a speeder bike with the durability of a landspeeder, utilizing a “Knife Edge” manoeuvre to navigate tight corners without losing momentum. The game will be available in Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s Editions.
