"The Game Awards contained many surprises, but this one genuinely caught me off guard: a new racing game set in the Star Wars universe. But perhaps the most baffling part of the announcement is that not a single pod racer was shown. Star Wars: Galactic Racer is scheduled for release sometime in 2026 for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation and will be the debut title of Fuse Games, a studio founded in 2023 by a group of former Criterion developers."
"There will be a single-player campaign featuring a new character called Shade. "No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise," says the game's page, almost gently mocking the standard Star Wars template. "STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim. With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, The Galactic League is created: an underground, unsanctioned circuit where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged," says the official Steam page."
Star Wars: Galactic Racer was announced at the Game Awards and is planned for release in 2026 on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fuse Games, founded in 2023 by former Criterion developers, is the studio behind the title. The game features a single-player campaign starring a new character named Shade and a tagline emphasizing skill and strategy rather than Force-based narrative. The Steam description frames the setting in the lawless Outer Rim and introduces the Galactic League, an underground racing circuit funded by syndicates. Vehicles include landspeeders and hoverbikes; no pod racers were shown, though Sebulba briefly appears in the trailer.
