‘Star Wars: Galactic Racer’ release date window

Star Wars: Galactic Racer will release on October 6, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. Fuse Games has been working on it for a little while, but the only downside is that it is releasing during a busy game window as everyone tries to get their games out before GTA 6.

‘Star Wars: Galactic Racer’ gameplay details

Star Wars: Galactic Racer has races across different planets in the Star Wars universe, featuring vehicles like speeders, larger land vehicles, and even podracing. Each one will have their own class and playstyle, allowing you to customise them.

Alongside a solo story campaign, there will be a full suite of multiplayer modes, and it looks like there will be a ranked system too.

Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster in a press release. “With Star Wars: Galactic Racer, we wanted to reinvent what a racing game can be: adventurous, spectacular and exhilarating. We want every race to feel alive with dynamic risk-reward choices, and every victory to feel incredible.”
