What kind of racing game is Galactic Racer?
A runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing with a dash of Burnout DNA. Crashing carries real consequence and there is no rewind button to undo a mistake. The fiction casts you inside the Galactic League, an underground, unsanctioned circuit born in the lawless Outer Rim, where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged. Vehicle customization and build-crafting feed directly into how each run plays, so tuning your ride matters as much as driving it.
Modes and platforms
The package stacks several ways to play: a single-player campaign built around mission maps, a Galactic Tour where customization and build crafting take center stage, and an Arcade menu covering race types from time trials to podraces across planets with hazards like lava and ice. Online multiplayer supports up to 12 players, dropping much of the build focus for pure racing. It launched on October 6, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Price, editions, and post-launch
Galactic Racer is a premium release with no season pass, billed as a complete package at launch. PC pre-orders sat around $44.99 ahead of release, with console pricing varying by region and retailer — all subject to change. The game was developed by Fuse Games, founded by Matt Webster, former general manager of Burnout developer Criterion, and published by Secret Mode in partnership with Lucasfilm Games. Reviews landed days before launch, including a detailed breakdown of the campaign and Arcade structure.
