With the releases of Screamer and Forza Horizon 6, many are already calling 2026 the start of the arcade racer renaissance. But what if I told you this year’s game-changer won’t take you to Japan or the future? Instead, it will take you to the stars.

To make sure you get your repulsorcraft ready, here’s everything revealed about Star Wars: Galactic Racer, including its release date, game modes, platforms, and more.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer Release Date & All Platforms

Starting with what I believe is 99% of you, Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be released on October 6, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via both Steam and the Epic Games Store). The game boasts the standard triple-A price tag of $59,99 for its standard version, while its Deluxe and Collector’s editions will demand a bit more of your pocket.

All Star Wars Galactic Racer Editions And Bonuses, Explained

Following the usual formula, the game’s standard version includes both the base experience and its Pre-Order Bonus Livery and Banner (available for all who purchase any version before release). Those who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition of Star Wars: Galactic Racer on any platform will then also get access to three exclusive Arcade Events, three exclusive vehicles in the Kor Sarun: Ciza T speeder bike, Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder, and Kor Sarun: Rak S skim speeder, as well as the following:

• Unique Naboo N-1 starfighter-inspired livery
• Deluxe Player Banner
• Digital Art Book

You can check out all of the mentioned Pre-Order Bonus and Digital Deluxe rewards in the images below. The latter will cost you $79.99, no matter your platform of choice.

But What About The Collector’s Edition?

As you can expect, Star Wars Galactic Racer won’t be a digital-exclusive release, with both its standard and Deluxe versions also available in physical media, with the latter now pairing the Digital bonuses with a steel case + sleeve. If you don’t care about the price and want to spice up your collection, there’s also the Collector’s Edition mentioned ($159.99 on official retailers).

Offering everything the physical Deluxe option brings to the table, those who purchase the Collector’s Edition will get a physical version of the game’s artbook, a set of Pilot Patches, a Kestar Banner to hang up, and a Landspeeder miniature model. Keep in mind that the version above is available for both consoles and PC.

All Star Wars Galactic Racer Game Modes

Star Wars: Galactic Racer will let players take on a unique campaign set after the events of the original trilogy. On it, they will take on the role of Shade, a lone racer who enters the Galactic League to both defeat its champions and get revenge. The story is set to feature both branching paths and upgrade mechanics, where you will be able to tune your machine as you progress, as well as change your build and vehicle between races.

Apart from the above, players will also be able to take on time and precision racing trials in Arcade, as well as up the stakes in Scenarios Mode. Galactic Racer will also feature both casual and ranked multiplayer, this time featuring up to 12 players online. There’s no news on whether the game will support local multiplayer or couch co-op.
