Star Wars: Galactic Racer to Double Multiplayer Party Size

Fuse Games says the six-player change is due within the first few weeks after launch to address player feedback and improve social play.

Overview

  • The game launched earlier this week and has drawn strong reviews for its racing and campaign systems while also drawing attention for limited multiplayer features.
  • Players discovered a three-player cap in online parties at launch and voiced disappointment that they could not race with larger friend groups.
  • Fuse Games replied on the game’s official X account that it is working on an update to raise the party limit from three to six players and aims to release it within the first few weeks after launch.
  • Some multiplayer concerns remain unresolved, including the lack of private races and no firm date for the party-size patch, and pre-release press sessions appeared not to enforce the three-player limit.
  • Amazon confirmed Prime users can access the game’s single-player portion on Luna at no extra cost, a distribution detail that gives players an option while multiplayer features are updated and could help keep engagement high.
