Star Wars fans can rev their engines as Star Wars: Galactic Racer gears up to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2026. A new gameplay trailer released during Sony’s State of Play gives fans a first look at the high-octane racing across both new and familiar planets in the Star Wars galaxy, along with a glimpse at the characters joining you on this adrenaline-fuelled adventure. And, yes – podracing, Star Wars’ most iconic sport, makes a thrilling return.
Enter the Galactic League
Galactic Racer introduces players to the Galactic League, an unsanctioned racing league born in the lawless Outer Rim and dominated by the cunning Kestar Bool. League organizer Darius Pax, on the brink of losing his creation, calls on lone pilot Shade, a racer with a personal grudge against the Bool family, to take Kestar down and reclaim control over the league.
Players step into Shade’s boots in an immersive campaign, navigating branching events to earn parts, tools, and upgrades that provide a competitive edge. Experiment with different repulsorcraft – from land speeders and skim speeders to speeder bikes and of course podracers – and collaborate with mechanic Hibi to customize vehicles for your racing style. Strategy, skill, and cunning are essential to forge alliances and outpace rivals on your way to becoming champion of the Galactic League.
Multiple Modes for Every Racer
Beyond the campaign, Galactic Racer offers a variety of racing modes:
-
Online Multiplayer: Up to 12 racers compete across intense circuits where only the fastest prevail.
-
Arcade Mode: Dive into instant action with time trials and precision driving challenges to secure your spot on the leaderboards.
-
Scenarios Mode: Race under unique conditions, from practice runs on new tracks to extreme races that push your piloting skills to the limit.
Fans can expect more details on each mode as the game approaches its 2026 release.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is shaping up to be a must-play for anyone eager to experience the thrill of high-speed Star Wars racing.
