Star Wars: Galactic Racer Announced at The Game Awards 2025
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Star Wars: Galactic Racer was officially revealed at The Game Awards 2025, bringing a runs-based racing experience to the lawless Outer Rim for a 2026 release across console and PC.
The Game Awards always delivers a few surprises, and this year brought a completely new angle to a familiar galaxy far, far away. Revealed via an official trailer covered by IGN South Africa, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is an upcoming runs-based racing game that trades the traditional linear tracks of classic titles for something a bit more chaotic. Set entirely within the lawless Outer Rim region of the Star Wars universe, the game leans hard into high-speed danger and the gritty, underground side of interstellar sport.
For cross-platform players, the release rollout covers all the major bases. Developer and publisher plans currently point toward a 2026 launch across PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, meaning whether you prefer console comfort or PC performance, you will be able to hit the grid. The choice of a runs-based structure suggests a heavy focus on replayability and progression loops, which fits neatly into how modern players consume titles that balance quick sessions with long-term mastery.
While trailers at major award shows are designed to maximum hype, the premise alone gives us plenty to watch as development continues. The Outer Rim setting opens up endless possibilities for custom rigs, diverse alien competitors, and unpredictable hazards that could make each run feel distinct. You can already wishlist the game across your preferred storefronts, so it is one to keep on your radar as we head toward 2026.
