Star Wars: Galactic Racer Revealed at The Game Awards for 2026 Release

The debut from ex‑Criterion studio Fuse Games revives Star Wars’ racing roots with a runs‑based campaign starring Shade in the outlaw Galactic League.

Overview

  • The racer targets a 2026 launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
  • Fuse and Lucasfilm describe a runs‑based, high‑stakes design with multiple repulsorcraft classes, distinct physics, branching routes, upgrades, and events where different classes compete together.
  • Set after the Empire’s fall, the story follows Shade facing rival Kestar in the criminally backed Galactic League across the Outer Rim.
  • Players can pursue a story‑driven campaign or jump into competitive PvP, customizing builds, unlocking abilities, and building reputation over repeated runs.
  • Fuse Games’ team includes Burnout and Need for Speed veterans; the reveal trailer showcases Jakku, Ando Prime, and Sentinel One with a tease of Sebulba, and some outlets report Secret Mode as publisher, which has not been universally confirmed.
