Star Wars: Galactic Racer Brings High Stakes Pod Racing Back in 2026
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Fuse Games announced Star Wars: Galactic Racer at The Game Awards, bringing high-stakes underground pod racing to PC and current-gen consoles in 2026.
Pod racing is officially making a comeback. During The Game Awards, Fuse Games pulled back the curtain on Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a fresh take on the beloved sci-fi racing subgenre. Set in the lawless Outer Rim after the fall of the Empire, the game drops players into the Galactic League, an underground circuit where syndicates fund the chaos and victory relies purely on reflexes and strategy rather than the Force. It is a bold premise that trades space magic for pure, high-speed adrenaline.
The development team describes the title as a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing. While full gameplay details are still rolling out, the concept of a gritty, underground racing circuit fits right into the current multiplayer and social gaming landscape. It has all the makings of a great title for creator streams and couch co-op sessions alike, giving friends a new playground to settle grudges across platforms.
Scheduled to launch next year, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is heading to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The reveal was part of a massive night for Star Wars fans, which also brought news of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic from veteran director Casey Hudson. For the complete breakdown of everything shown at the event, you can check out the original report over at Eurogamer.
