'Star Wars: Galactic Racer' Comes To PS5, Xbox Series X|S And PC In October, Reveals Special Editions, Pre-Order Now - Screens & Trailer

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the Outer Rim. With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, The Galactic League is created: an underground, unsanctioned circuit where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer introduces fans to the Galactic League, an unsanctioned racing league born in the lawless Outer Rim and currently dominated by the underhanded and well-connected Kestar Bool. In danger of losing his creation and with nowhere else to turn, league organizer Darius Pax calls on the dauntless pilot Shade, a lone racer with a personal grudge against the Bool family, to help take Kestar down and reclaim control over the league.

Play as Shade in an immersive campaign, choosing from a branching path of events to earn parts, tools and upgrades that will give you an edge in the championship. Try out new build strategies in different repulsorcraft – landspeeders, skim speeders, speeder bikes, and, of course, podracers - and work with mechanic Hibi to build the ultimate vehicle to suit your racing style. Race, adapt, and master new strategies as you forge alliances and takedown rivals on your path to becoming champion of the Galactic League.

Customize your build, unlock new abilities on every run, and master brutal takedowns. No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.


Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be inviting budding pilots to shunt, slam, and takedown their rivals when the game launches on October 6, 2026.

Pre-orders open today, with digital Standard and Deluxe Editions, as well as a physical Collector’s Edition, available across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

All pre-orders of Star Wars: Galactic Racer will include a free bonus livery which can be used with your landspeeders, speeder bikes, or skim speeders, with a unique color for the livery depending on your pre-order platform.

The Deluxe Edition of Star Wars: Galactic Racer comes with three bonus vehicles – the Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder, Kor Sarun: Ciza T speeder bike, and Kor Sarun: Rak S skim speeder – alongside three deluxe Arcade events designed to test your skills with these powerful repulsorcraft, as well as the Deluxe Livery Pack with unique designs for all of your vehicles. In addition, pilots will have access to the Deluxe Player Banner Pack, with a new Insignia and Background for you to show your style in multiplayer modes, and a Digital Art Book containing never-before-seen artwork of the characters, locations, and vehicles of Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The Deluxe Edition is available at an SRP of $79.99/£64.99/€79.99. A Deluxe Edition Upgrade will be made available at launch.
