Last year’s Game Awards surprised everyone when they announced Fate of the Old Republic, a spiritual successor to the Knights of the Old Republic games, came out of nowhere. Fans had their jaws drop again later during the same show when Star Wars: Galactic Racer was revealed unexpectedly.
The main advantage Galactic Racer has over Fate of the Old Republic is that it will be available much sooner. Fate of the Old Republic is still years away, but Galactic Racer is set to launch in 2026. You can pre-order it right now, with details about its different editions below.

The collector’s edition costs a bit more but includes a lot. For $159.99, you’ll get the game, a miniature landspeeder model, a physical art book, and all the digital bonuses listed above, including the digital deluxe edition content.
Pre-orders for the collector’s edition aren’t live yet, but updates will be posted when they become available.
The digital deluxe edition costs $79.99, which is half the price of the collector’s. It includes a digital art book, a special livery for your speeder, a banner, and three exclusive repulsorcrafts. There will also be a physical version that comes with a steel case and sleeve.
Where to Pre-Order the Digital Deluxe Edition
If you’re only interested in racing and don’t need the extras, the standard edition is a good choice. It costs $59.99, which is reasonable compared to current game prices, and it comes with a pre-order bonus—livery personalized to your gaming platform, like blue and white for PlayStation or green and white for Xbox.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s Release Date and More Information
Galactic Racer will release on October 6, 2026. It will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. There’s no word yet about a Nintendo Switch 2 version. This game is among the first big titles confirmed for release this October, just weeks before GTA 6, which launches on November 19.
There’s a lot of excitement around Galactic Racer after more than 20 years without new podracing games. It’s the debut title from Fuse Games, a new studio, and early impressions suggest they are doing well so far.
In Galactic Racer, players step into the role of Shade in a single-player campaign, racing against top podracers across familiar characters and locations from Star Wars. It looks promising, and fans are eager to jump in when it arrives in October. Pre-orders are available, and now we just wait for the release day.
