Star Wars: Galactic Racer is set to launch on October 6 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, with Steam and Epic Games Store listed among the release platforms. The new games will take the player to the underground racing scene in the Outer Rim, where speed, risk, and reputation all matter.
The game is built around The Galactic League, an unsanctioned circuit that emerges after the Empire’s control collapses. Races are described as high-stakes runs where slams, shunts, and takedowns can change the outcome quickly, while the story follows Shade, a lone racer chasing revenge and glory. A separate PvP layer is also part of the package, so the experience is not limited to a single-player campaign.
Vehicle choice appears to play a central role as well. Star Wars: Galactic Racer includes multiple repulsorcraft classes, each with distinct physics and handling, which means the craft are meant to feel different on track rather than serve as simple cosmetic variants. That kind of setup usually matters in a racing game because it affects how players approach corners, collisions, acceleration, and recovery after contact.
Three editions of the game have already been confirmed:
- Standard Edition: priced at $59.99, £49.99, or €59.99, and includes the base game.
- Deluxe Edition: priced at $79.99, £64.99, or €79.99. It includes the base game, the Deluxe Upgrade, the Deluxe Livery Pack, the Deluxe Player Banner Pack, and three exclusive vehicles: Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder, Kor Sarun: Ciza T speeder bike, and Kor Sarun: Rak S skim speeder.
- Collector’s Edition: priced at $159.99, £139.99, or €159.99. It includes a physical Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder model, a physical banner for Galactic League champion Kestar Bool, two patches, a physical art book, a steel case with a custom slip cover, and the Deluxe Edition upgrade with all the digital items from the higher-tier version.
Pre-orders also come with a free livery that can be used with landspeeders, speeder bikes, or skim speeders, with the color changing depending on the platform, plus a Player Banner background for multiplayer modes. That bonus is modest, but it helps separate the launch offer from the premium editions and shows how the game is being positioned across standard, deluxe, and collector tiers from day one.
Overall, the announcement does more than confirm a release date. It also clarifies the game’s structure, from its story-driven campaign and PvP races to the way different craft classes and edition bonuses are being used to frame the launch. For players interested in arcade-style Star Wars racing, October 6 is now the date to watch.
