Star Wars: Galactic Racer (PC/PS5/XSX) - October 6, 2026

[6souls]

Star Wars: Galactic Racer™ is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars™ galaxy. Coming in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox X|S, and PC.

With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, The Galactic League is formed: an underground, unsanctioned circuit where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged.

No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.

Developed by the former Need for Speed/Criterion devs

Hoping it's good, since we still don't have much in the way of hover racers/high-speed racers in general these days (cmon Sony/Nintendo), and there's still nothing quite like Episode 1 Racer, other than its sequel, Racer Revenge.

Was hoping we'd get some gameplay in the trailer though. My only real concern is track visibility during the race at a game of this speed, because a lot of modern game devs seem to not know how important contrast and visual clarity is.

Now this is podracing!

Star Wars: Galactic Racer™ is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars™ galaxy.

The Empire’s grip on the galaxy has finally broken, and with its fall comes a new obsession: speed. As the New Republic struggles to rebuild, gambling, entertainment, and glory fuel a booming underground.

Out of this chaos, The Galactic League is born: an unsanctioned racing circuit where syndicates sponsor pilots, fortunes are won and lost in seconds, and only the bold survive.

No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.

Slam, shunt, and takedown rivals across varied circuits where no two runs play the same. The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Join The Galactic League - an unsanctioned racing circuit born in the lawless Outer Rim. Become Shade, a lone racer chasing revenge and glory.

Pilot different classes of repulsorcraft each with distinct physics and playstyles. Build a ride that showcases your style and gives you a competitive edge.

Ride solo through a story-driven campaign of shifting alliances or brave strategic PvP grudge matches where reputation rides with you.

Prove yourself through intense rivalries and escalating challenges. Every choice shapes your prospects as you build your status in The Galactic League.

Lantaana map sounds like they took notes from Motorstorm's heat management system. Hopefully more maps have that fun gimmick.

I'm still worried about track visibility though with the trailers.
