Star Wars Galactic Racer Gets Fan-Made Split-Screen Co-Op
A new mod brings local split-screen co-op to Star Wars Galactic Racer for up to four players. Created by zhelan, it lets each player pick a class and vehicle before selecting a planet and mode, and it gives individual danger alerts and spectating after crashes. The mod is currently available on PC, with installation requiring several files to be placed in the game's directories.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer launched on October 6, 2026, from developer Fuse Games and publisher Secret Mode. It includes online multiplayer and full cross-platform play, yet shipped without local split-screen co-op. The game has been described as the highest-rated Star Wars title in twenty years.
Modder zhelan's PC-only mod adds four-player couch co-op. Players choose their own class and vehicle, then select a planet and mode. Each racer gets separate danger alerts, and crashed players can spectate rather than stare at a black screen. Installation involves placing several files into the game's directories; success is marked by a split-screen option on the main menu.
The mod could matter most to PC players who want shared-screen racing with friends or family, potentially reviving couch play in a genre often built around online competition. Console owners may remain excluded because mod support is absent there, so their access could depend on Fuse Games adding official co-op. If demand grows, the modding scene may also shape future updates or community expectations, though its broader social reach is likely limited to the game's audience.
