‘Star Wars: Galactic Racer’ Speeds to Consoles October 6

Star Wars: Galactic Racer takes place during a fascinating era. Set shortly after the fall of the Galactic Empire, the game drops players into the lawless Outer Rim. Without the Empire’s strict oversight, a massive, unsanctioned racing circuit known as the Galactic League takes center stage.

Players will experience this gritty underworld through a robust single-player campaign. You take on the role of a mysterious pilot named Shade. As you navigate the criminal underbelly of the Outer Rim, you must forge critical alliances, reignite bitter rivalries, and settle old grudges. The story mode promises a thrilling run-based adventure where every race carries heavy consequences.

Podracers, Repulsorcraft, and Customization

A racing game is only as good as its vehicles, and Galactic Racer delivers plenty of options. Players can choose from three distinct styles of repulsorcraft to match their preferred racing strategy. Most notably, the game features the return of the iconic, high-speed podracers that fans know and love.

The developers placed a heavy emphasis on garage mechanics and build strategies. You will spend plenty of time tweaking, upgrading, and customizing your ship to create the ultimate racing machine. Whether you prioritize raw straight-line speed, tight handling, or aggressive durability, the deep customization system lets you tailor your ride to your exact specifications.

Intense Online Multiplayer Action

Once you master the tracks in the single-player campaign, you can take your customized repulsorcraft online. Star Wars: Galactic Racer features a competitive multiplayer mode that supports up to 12 players in a single event.

You will face off against 11 other pilots in chaotic, high-stakes races across dangerous planetary environments. Success in these online lobbies requires pure skill, sharp reflexes, and smart build strategies. As the developers noted in their announcement, there is no prophecy and no Force to save you here—just your driving abilities.

Choose Your Edition and Pre-Order Bonuses

Players have a few different ways to jump into the action, with pre-orders officially open across all platforms.

The Standard Edition costs $60 and includes the base game. Anyone who pre-orders this version will receive exclusive vehicle liveries and a custom player banner background for online multiplayer.

For $80, fans can grab the Deluxe Edition. This upgraded package includes three bonus vehicles, access to a trio of exclusive arcade events, and a digital art book showcasing the game’s beautiful designs.

Finally, die-hard fans can secure the physical Collector’s Edition for $160. This premium box is packed with real-world collectibles. The centerpiece is a stunning, highly detailed model of a Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder. Buyers also get a physical copy of the art book, two wearable pilot patches, a custom slipcover, and a sleek steel case.
