Star Wars Galactic Racer: a physics-focused pod-race dream in UE5

Digital Foundry previews Fuse Games’ Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a UE5-based arcade racer emphasizing physics-driven destruction, thermal terrain effects, and a four-vehicle archetype roster. The game uses photogrammetry and Nanite for high-fidelity environments, with Lumen lighting on PS5/PS5 Pro and Series X, and screen-space reflections for performance. It targets 60fps on base PS5 and Series X, with dynamic TSR upscaling (PS5 Pro uses PSSR) and a broad upscaling toolkit (DLSS 4.5, XeSS, FSR 4). PC configurations including RTX 4090 can push high frame rates (around 150fps with frame generation and ray reconstruction), while Series S prioritizes lightmass probes for balance. Notably, collisions trigger Burnout-style takedowns, and environmental heat and cold influence vehicle performance. An early look suggests a promising blend of nostalgia and modern tech ahead of the October 6 launch, with ongoing polish planned.
