Star Wars: Galactic Racer Doubles Online Party Size in October 22 Patch

The small, 467 MB update addresses player requests and thereby signals further input and multiplayer updates planned by the studio.

Overview

  • Fuse Games released Update 1.005 on October 22 that raises online party capacity from three players to six to let larger groups join multiplayer Tours.
  • The patch is roughly 467 MB and adds keyboard layout presets on PC to support AZERTY and left‑ or right‑handed play with full key rebinding promised in a future update.
  • Quality‑of‑life changes include boosting mid‑Tour join credits from 4,000 to 6,000, tidying spectator camera transitions, removing the multiplayer menu’s ‘Exit the game’ option on PC to prevent accidental quits, and several party stability fixes.
  • Platform reliability fixes in the update address a PlayStation 5 connection problem and a crash caused by AMD Frame Interpolation, which should reduce session drops and crashes for affected players.
  • Galactic Racer launched to positive early reviews across PC (Steam), Xbox Series and PS5, and this rapid patching shows Fuse Games is actively refining multiplayer, with further features and input support still planned.
