Is Star Wars: Galactic Racer multiplayer?
Yes, Star Wars: Galactic Racer has multiplayer. It supports up to 12 players per race in a cross-platform setup.
The game also has a story-driven solo campaign, so it is not multiplayer-only. The campaign is built around Shade’s climb through the Galactic League, while multiplayer covers competitive races and reputation-based PvP.
What platforms is Star Wars: Galactic Racer on?
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. There is no Nintendo Switch 2 version announced right now, but considering that it’s confirmed to come out for Xbox Series S, there’s a high likelihood that the game will also come out on the Nintendo console.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer story
The game is set after the events of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The story follows Shade, a new racer entering the Galactic League with a personal grudge against the Bool family. Kestar Bool is the League Champion, and the main rival Shade has to beat.
Shade is not alone. The story trailer introduced Hibi, an Ardennian mechanic who works out of each planet’s paddock and helps fit new parts between runs, while Sebulba returns as a major figure Shade may have to impress.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer gameplay
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based racing game, it does not have a campaign with a fixed event list. In the campaign, players choose events as they move through the League, earn parts and upgrades, and try to survive long enough to challenge Kestar Bool.
The main risk is that a bad run can end the tour. If you crash too many times, the current attempt is over, but certain perks and unlocks carry into later runs. It’s a rogue-lite structure that’s built around repeatedly attempting to beat the campaign, not dominate it immediately.
The game has Campaign, Scenario, and Arcade modes. Campaign is the solo story route through the Galactic League, Scenario mode focuses on specific challenges, and Arcade mode includes curated events with set racers, vehicles, and locations.
Players can pilot landspeeders, speeder bikes, skim speeders, and podracers, with each repulsorcraft class using different physics and playstyles.
Skim speeders are one of the newer additions to Star Wars racing. Developers at Fuse describe them as momentum-based craft that reward flowing racing lines, banking through corners, and cutting through narrow gaps.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer locations
Jakku is one of the immediately obvious locations, with the Graveyard of Giants turned into an unsanctioned racetrack. Other confirmed planets include Ando Prime, Tatooine, Lantaana, and Sentinel I.
