A new Star Wars racing game is arriving this week. Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be available worldwide from Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Fuse Games has developed the title, while Secret Mode is handling publishing. Seen as one of the month's biggest launches, the game lets players take famous Star Wars ships and vehicles out for high-speed races across the Outer Rim, a region where law and order no longer apply.
Release Date and Time
Galactic Racer unlocks for everyone simultaneously at 9 AM UTC on October 6. No demo has been released ahead of launch. For players, this means an early morning start in the Americas, a morning to midday release in Europe, and an afternoon or evening launch across Asia and the Pacific.

Racing After the Empire
The game's story takes place after the Empire has lost its hold on the Outer Rim. In this power vacuum, racing has become the main path to fame, fortune and entertainment.
As a member of the Galactic League, you'll face off against rivals in intense, fast-paced contests. Anything goes on the track, and knocking competitors out of the way is all part of the climb to the top.

Game Modes and Progression
Galactic Racer can be played in two ways. If you prefer competing against people, there are online one-on-one races against other players. Those who'd rather play solo can follow a campaign with a storyline, racing against computer-controlled opponents.
As you rise through the league rankings, you'll earn special rewards. What you unlock depends on how far you've progressed and where you stand in the league.
Any Chance of a Delay?
Secret Mode has given no hint of pushing the release back, so Galactic Racer should arrive worldwide on October 6 as planned. If you want to start playing right away, make a note of the unlock time in your region. Checking official updates closer to launch is also wise, just in case the timing changes.
