A Different Kind Of Star Wars Experience
Set in the lawless Outer Rim, Star Wars: Galactic Racer puts you behind the visor of a mysterious pilot known as Shade. The focus is firmly on racing, with a campaign built around rivalries, alliances, and the pursuit of becoming the best in an underground league.
You’ll be tuning and piloting a variety of repulsorcraft, from landspeeders to speeder bikes and even podracers, each offering different handling styles and build possibilities. And if you prefer proving your worth against others, online multiplayer races for up to 12 players are ready to push those skills to the limit.

The Standard Edition provides everything you need to jump into the Galactic League from day one. Alongside the base game, all pre-orders include:
- A bonus vehicle livery, usable across landspeeders, speeder bikes, and skim speeders, with colours varying by platform
- A Player Banner background for multiplayer customisation
It’s the cleanest entry point, priced at £49.99 / $59.99.
Deluxe Edition – Extra Speed, Style And Content
For those wanting more from the outset, the Deluxe Edition expands both your garage and your customisation options. This version includes:

Priced at £64.99 / $79.99, it also has a Deluxe Upgrade option available for those starting with Standard.
Collector’s Edition – For Dedicated Pilots
If you’re all-in on Galactic Racer, the Collector’s Edition goes beyond digital extras and into physical memorabilia. This premium package includes:

- Two pilot patches
