October 6 is the release date for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a sci-fi racing game headed to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Four modes anchor the package, with a runs-based single-player campaign joined by Scenario, Challenge and Versus races.
Three vehicle classes shape the racing—blade, landspeeder and skimspeeder—while Afterburner and high-risk Ramjet boosts add Burnout-style crashes, overheating and explosions.
Planet-specific hazards and a flow-chart season structure push players to swap builds and routes, using earned parts and credits to tune speed, cornering and boost performance.
Set after the Empire's fall, the game follows pilot Shade in a New Republic-era story, though repeated walk-between-race segments may slow the pace.
