“Star Wars: Galactic Racer” launched on Amazon’s gaming service Luna day and date alongside the game’s worldwide release across platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X and PC.
Developed by Fuse Games, the studio behind the “Burnout” and “Need for Speed” franchises, “Star Wars: Galactic Racer” puts players behind the controls of a range of repulsorcraft in a racing circuit in a galaxy far, far away.
Set early during the New Republic era, the game introduces the Galactic League, an unsanctioned racing circuit assembled by Darius Pax. Players step into the role of Shade, a lone racer dreaming of glory and revenge. The high-stakes racing takes place across “Star Wars” planets like Jakku, the Graveyard of Giants, Ando Prime or Sentinel I.
“We’ve always believed Luna players deserve to be in the action from day one, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer makes that a reality for the first time,” said Jeff Gattis, head of gaming at Amazon. “Luna players can jump into the single-player campaign today without needing to own a console or wait for a lengthy download. And the best part: if they’re a Prime member, they already have it at no additional cost. It’s exactly the kind of experience we want to deliver on Luna, and we think players are going to love it.”
Prime members can start their engines on Amazon Luna on the same day as other platforms and play the single-player campaign.

Step into the castle! “Traitors” fans can now test their scheming skills with “The Traitors: Interactive Game” on iOS and Android platforms, Fusebox Games announced on Monday.
Players begin by choosing a defining trait: the outspoken leader, the adaptable chameleon or the chaotic wildcard, which will form the foundation of your character.
Set across 12 days, 22 players emulate the TV show at the castle by building trust with other players during missions as well as building believable theories during The Round Table.
“When it comes to adapting iconic entertainment IP, Fusebox Games is as faithful a partner as they come,” Fusebox Games CEO Terry Lee said. “Our history is built on story-based, choice-driven games that put players in control, making the deceit and strategy of The Traitors a natural fit. We’re giving fans the chance to step out of the audience and take a seat at the table and tell their own story at the castle.”
