Star Wars: Galactic Racer delivers high-speed, roguelike thrills

Star Wars: Galactic Racer, launching October 6 on PC, PS5, and Xbox, is a high-speed racing game that blends arcade mechanics with a roguelike structure. Developed by Fuse Games, the title features a campaign where players pilot various vehicles, including iconic podracers, across multiple planets. Critics praise the game's intense speed, authentic Star Wars atmosphere, and technical performance, though some note that on-foot segments are repetitive and the campaign can be frustrating due to its difficulty.
