When does Star Wars: Galactic Racer release?
Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The PlayStation Store lists the PS5 edition for 9:00 a.m. UTC on October 6.
That 09:00 UTC listing applies to PS5. Fuse Games and Secret Mode have not confirmed a single universal unlock time across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, so Xbox and Steam players should use their local storefront countdown. An official preload schedule has not been announced.
What platforms is Star Wars: Galactic Racer coming to?
The game is confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam. No PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or Nintendo Switch 2 edition has been announced.
The PC version requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Steam lists Windows 10, an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 12 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, Intel Arc A580, or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT with 6 GB of VRAM as the minimum specification. It also requires 50 GB of available SSD space.
How much does Star Wars: Galactic Racer cost?
The standard edition costs $59.99, while the Digital Deluxe Edition costs $79.99. Regional prices and taxes can vary.
| Edition | Format | Confirmed contents |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | Digital; physical on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S | Base game |
| Digital Deluxe Edition | Digital; physical Deluxe release on consoles | Base game plus the announced Deluxe digital content |
| Collector’s Edition | Physical package | Deluxe digital content, metal landspeeder model, Kestar banner, pilot patches, physical art book, steel case, and collector’s box |
The Collector’s Edition is offered through selected retailers and official sales channels, so price and stock can differ by region. Players should verify whether a PC package supplies a Steam key and whether the listed version matches their region before ordering.
What is the preorder bonus?
Preorders include an exclusive vehicle livery and a multiplayer banner. These are cosmetic bonuses and do not change the performance of a racer.
Retailer availability and redemption requirements can vary, particularly for physical copies. Check the listing for the exact platform and edition before purchase.
What game modes are included?
Galactic Racer includes a story-driven Campaign, Scenario challenges, an Arcade mode, and competitive online PvP multiplayer. The campaign follows racers competing across dangerous tracks and underworld-controlled events rather than retelling a film storyline.
Scenario mode is designed around specific objectives and conditions, while Arcade offers a more immediate way to select an event and race. Competitive multiplayer puts players against one another online. On PS5, the official PlayStation Store listing supports up to 12 online players with PS Plus. Official materials have not confirmed cross-platform multiplayer or cross-progression.
What kind of racing game is Galactic Racer?
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a high-speed vehicular racing game built around the dangerous machines and varied locations of the Star Wars galaxy. It draws obvious inspiration from the franchise’s history of podracing, while introducing its own competitors, vehicles, and campaign.
Fuse Games is developing the title with Lucasfilm Games, and Secret Mode is publishing it. The studio’s official gameplay trailer highlights boost management, close-contact racing, hazards, and combat-like interactions between vehicles.
The game is also part of the busy October release calendar; see our overview of the Xbox games arriving October 6–9 for more of the week’s launches.
