Star Wars Galactic Racer launched on October 6, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Fuse Games title, published by Secret Mode, sits at 88 on Metacritic, Generally Favorable, based on 62 critic reviews.
Star Wars Galactic Racer is a run-based racer set in the Outer Rim after the fall of the Empire. Steam describes the Galactic League as an unsanctioned underground circuit bankrolled by syndicates. The standard edition is listed at $59.99; the Deluxe edition at $79.99.
What reviews highlight
Game Informer scored it 8.5 and called it a racing roguelite that is hard to put down, with extra modes and a few point frustrations. Eurogamer's PS5 review scored 100 and singled out courses on Jakku and Crait. Cubed3 scored 90 and pointed to the campaign and characters. Insider Gaming's Xbox Series X review scored 9 and compared the genre impact to the moment Forza Horizon pushed racing toward open worlds — a critic's reading, not a sales figure.
On launch day, the Steam page showed 27 user reviews, 74% positive (Mostly Positive). Metacritic had not opened user scores yet; that window starts at noon Pacific time on October 7.
Why it matters
The launch shares Tuesday with Gears of War: E-Day, a console exclusive on Xbox, and Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed on Switch 2. Star Wars Galactic Racer is the multiplatform title of the day: PS5, Xbox Series and PC, with no Game Pass listing on Secret Mode's store page. Critics cite Star Wars Episode I: Racer as inspiration, but the run format and vehicle building are the difference from a straight revival.
