The galaxy's next high-speed thrill ride is officially confirmed. Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be released on October 6, 2026, bringing a new spin to sci-fi racing on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The release date confirmation comes after an earlier leak from the game's Steam listing, but fans can now mark their calendars with confidence. Along with the announcement, publisher Secret Mode and developer Fuse Games provided a detailed breakdown of the game's editions and pre-order bonuses.
A New Chapter in Star Wars Galactic Racer
Unlike traditional sanctioned circuits, Galactic Racer carries players to the Galactic League, an underground racing scene that operates in the lawless Outer Rim. Players assume the role of Shade, a mysterious pilot, and navigate a story-driven single-player campaign rife with rivalries, alliances, and unfinished business.
From dusty desert worlds like Jakku to newly introduced planets like Ando Prime, the game promises a variety of tracks that highlight different vehicle styles and handling systems.
Star Wars Galactic Racer Editions and What You Get
The game will be released in three major editions, catering to both casual players and dedicated collectors.
Standard Edition
The base version, which includes the full game experience, costs $59.99. It's the most straightforward option, with no additional content other than the core gameplay.
Deluxe Edition

Kor Sarun offers three exclusive vehicles: the Darc X landspeeder, the Ciza T speeder bike, and the Rak S skim speeder.

Built by Racing Veterans
Galactic Racer is the debut project from Fuse Games, a studio founded by former Criterion developers known for their work on high-speed racing games. Their expertise is already evident in the game's emphasis on vehicle handling, racing lines, and dynamic environments.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer with its mix of cinematic storytelling and competitive racing mechanics, is shaping up to be more than just another franchise spinoff. Its emphasis on underground racing culture, diverse vehicle classes, and immersive world-building could make it one of the most memorable releases of 2026.
More gameplay details will likely come out as the October launch date approaches—for the time being, the engines are warming up and the starting line is in sight.
