  "textContent": "**Quick answer:** STAR WARS: Galactic Racer does not have a specific release date or confirmed price yet. The game is scheduled to launch sometime in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. No season pass model is planned, and the developers have confirmed it will be a premium release.\n\nImage credit: __Secret Mode__\n\n* * *\n\n### What is STAR WARS: Galactic Racer?\n\nSTAR WARS: Galactic Racer is a track-based racing game developed by Fuse Games and published by Secret Mode. Set after the fall of the Empire, it takes place in the lawless Outer Rim, where an underground competition called The Galactic League has emerged. Syndicates sponsor pilots, fortunes change hands in seconds, and only the boldest racers survive. Players take on the role of Shade, a lone racer chasing revenge and glory through a story-driven campaign.\n\nFuse Games was founded in 2023 by former members of Criterion Games — the studio behind the _Burnout_ series — who also worked on vehicle combat for _Star Wars Battlefront_ (2015) and _Star Wars Battlefront II_ (2017). Galactic Racer marks the first Star Wars racing game since _Star Wars: Racer Revenge_ in 2002. Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster has said the game draws inspiration from podracing in _Episode I_ , Riot Racing from _The Bad Batch_ Season 2, and sky races from _Star Wars Resistance_.\n\nSTAR WARS: Galactic Racer is a track-based racing game set after the fall of the Empire in the Outer Rim | Image credit: __Secret Mode__\n\n* * *\n\n### STAR WARS: Galactic Racer release window\n\nThe game was first revealed with a trailer on December 12, 2025, during The Game Awards. A gameplay trailer followed on February 12, 2026, during Sony's State of Play showcase. Both trailers confirmed a 2026 launch window, but no specific month or day has been announced. All storefronts — Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Store — list the release year as 2026 without further specifics.\n\n* * *\n\n### Platforms and multiplayer\n\nSTAR WARS: Galactic Racer will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Cross-platform multiplayer is confirmed across all versions.\n\nThe game supports a single-player story campaign, an arcade mode, and online PvP multiplayer for up to 12 players. On consoles, online multiplayer requires PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Essential (or higher). The Xbox version targets 4K resolution with HDR10 support at 60 fps or above. Steam Deck compatibility has also been confirmed, though the handheld will run the game at 30 fps.\n\nGalactic Racer will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC | Image credit: __Secret Mode__\n\n* * *\n\n### Price and editions\n\nNo pricing has been announced for any platform. The developers have confirmed Galactic Racer will be a premium release — meaning a standard paid game — with no season pass model. Optional in-game purchases are listed on both the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts, but no details about what those purchases include have been shared. No special or deluxe editions have been revealed at this point.\n\n* * *\n\n### Gameplay and vehicle types\n\nGalactic Racer is a runs-based racing game, meaning no two runs play out identically. Players pilot multiple classes of repulsorcraft, each with distinct physics and handling. Vehicle types include landspeeders, speeder bikes, skim speeders, and podracers. Matt Webster confirmed in a January 2026 interview that podracing would be part of the game alongside speeder racing.\n\nCombat plays a significant role during races. You can slam, shunt, and take down rivals across varied circuits. Higher-risk maneuvers yield greater rewards. Between races, you can build and customize your craft to match your playstyle and gain a competitive edge. A ranking system lets you climb through The Galactic League by proving yourself in rivalries and escalating challenges, with every choice affecting your standing.\n\nPlayers pilot multiple classes of repulsorcraft, each with distinct physics and handling | Image credit: __Secret Mode__\n\n* * *\n\n### PC system requirements\n\nFuse Games has published preliminary system requirements for the PC version. The Steam store page still lists specs as \"TBC,\" but more detailed numbers have surfaced through other channels. Here's what you'll need:\n\nComponent | Minimum | Recommended\n---|---|---\n**CPU** | AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel Core i5-8400 / Intel i3 10th Gen | AMD Ryzen 7 3700X / Intel Core i7-10700\n**RAM** | 12 GB | 16 GB\n**GPU** | AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB / NVIDIA RTX 2060 / Intel Arc A380 | AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT / NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti / Intel Arc B580\n**Storage** | 50 GB SSD | 50 GB SSD\n**OS** | Windows 10 | Windows 11\n\nAn SSD is required at both tiers, and the storage footprint sits at 50 GB. Intel Arc GPUs are supported at both minimum and recommended levels, which is notable for a major licensed title.\n\nAn SSD is required to run the game, and the storage footprint sits at 50 GB | Image credit: __Secret Mode__\n\n* * *\n\n### Accessibility and language support\n\nThe PlayStation listing highlights 29 accessibility features, including large text and subtitle options, high-contrast visuals, color alternatives, mono audio, 3D audio, screen reader support, customizable controller mappings, adjustable difficulty with separate assist toggles, and the ability to play without motion controls, touchpad inputs, or controller vibration. The game can also be paused at any time during offline play.\n\nFull audio is in English only, but interface and subtitle localization covers 14 languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.\n\n* * *\n\n### Age ratings\n\nThe ESRB has rated STAR WARS: Galactic Racer E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) for fantasy violence, mild language, and comic mischief. The German USK rating is 6+, citing abstract violence and a dark atmosphere. The game also carries an in-game purchases descriptor on all platforms.\n\nImage credit: __Secret Mode__\n\n* * *\n\nWith a 2026 window confirmed but no firm launch date, price, or edition details locked in, Galactic Racer remains one of the bigger unknowns on the Star Wars gaming calendar. Fuse Games' pedigree in arcade racing and the absence of a season pass model suggest a focused, premium package — but the specifics will have to wait for a future announcement.",
