We're just a little more than five months away from the official launch of Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The game featuring landspeeders and podracers is set to release October 6 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
A new Star Wars: Galactic Racer trailer on YouTube (and seen below) revealed the release date, as well as a couple of preorder bonuses for the title. You can grab a player banner for multiplayer and "a bonus Livery for your repulsorcraft, which can be used on landspeeders, speeder bikes, and skim speeders." There are also two premium options to purchase: a Digital Deluxe Edition and Collector's Edition.
Skim speeders are a totally new type of vehicle in a galaxy far, far away. Fuse Games founder and CEO Matt Webster previously stated that Lucasfilm helped them craft the racing machine, while also discussing how the racing genre is "crying out" for new ideas. The team at Fuse Games has veterans who previously worked on the Need for Speed and Burnout franchises.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer will also feature a story revolving around a character named Shade, who dreams of "glory and revenge." Sebulba has been teased as part of the narrative, too. Just don't expect any lightsabers or Force lightning in this Star Wars game.
The time from reveal to release will be less than a year if the launch date holds. Star Wars: Galactic Racer was announced at The Game Awards this past December.
