After an earlier leak, we now have an official release date for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the high-stakes, runs-based racing adventure set in a galaxy far, far away from developer Fuse Games .
Star Wars: Galactic Racer will launch on 6th October. It will be available across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. To accompany this news, the team has shared a new release date trailer, which you can check out below.
“Star Wars: Galactic Racer invites race fans to join the Galactic League, an unsanctioned racing circuit born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy,” reads the official blurb. “Step into the cockpit as mysterious pilot Shade in a thrilling singleplayer campaign where alliances will be forged, rivalries reignited, and old grudges will be settled. Experiment with your build strategies across three distinct styles of repulsorcraft to create your ultimate vehicle. Get behind the controls of podracers and put your skills to the test in this iconic vehicle class. Take your talents online in exciting multiplayer races to prove yourself as an elite racing pilot. No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.”
