Star Wars: Galactic Racer Impresses with Podracing Action and Canon Campaign at TGS

A Tokyo Game Show 2026 hands-on preview found Star Wars: Galactic Racer chaotic, fast, and faithful to the Star Wars setting. The game includes multiple vehicle types such as Speeder Bikes and Podracers, each with distinct handling traits. Its campaign follows aspiring racer Shade and features a canon story involving rival Kestar Bool.
Fuse Games' racer was shown at Tokyo Game Show 2026, with a planned October 6, 2026 release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. Its garage spans nimble Speeder Bikes, a Skim Speeder whose Knife Edge drift lets it lean and scrape a wing while preserving turn speed, and the fastest class, Podracers, including vehicles and characters recalling an older arcade title.
The single-player campaign casts players as Shade, an up-and-coming pilot drawn into a conflict with rival Kestar Bool. Fuse worked with Lucasfilm to keep this narrative within Star Wars continuity. A Galactic Tour mode adds run-based progression: players pick routes across planets and event types, such as elimination races or time trials, while equipping parts and attributes to handle track hazards.
