Publisher Secret Mode and developer Fuse Games, a studio led by former Criterion Games general manager Matt Webster, have announced Star Wars: Galactic Racer for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). It will launch in 2026.
“For us, Star Wars has always represented the power of wonder—and racing is one of its most thrilling expressions,” said Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster in a press release. “With Star Wars: Galactic Racer, we wanted to reinvent what a racing game can be: adventurous, spectacular and exhilarating. We want every race to feel alive with dynamic risk-reward choices, and every victory to feel incredible.”
Lucasfilm Games vice president and general manager Douglas Reilly added, “From the beginning, Star Wars has drawn inspiration from racing culture, from podracing to high-speed chases across the galaxy. With Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the team at Fuse Games has captured that spirit and elevated it into a wholly new form of racing adventure. We can’t wait for fans to experience it.”
Secret Mode publishing officer James Schall said, “Star Wars: Galactic Racer is exactly the kind of bold, innovative experience Secret Mode was founded to support. Fuse Games are building something truly genre-defining: a racing adventure with depth, drama, and identity. We’re proud to partner with them and work in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games to bring this vision to life for players worldwide.”

About
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy.
The Empire’s grip on the galaxy has finally broken, and with its fall comes a new obsession: speed. As the New Republic struggles to rebuild, gambling, entertainment, and glory fuel a booming underground.
Out of this chaos, The Galactic League is born: an unsanctioned racing circuit where syndicates sponsor pilots, fortunes are won and lost in seconds, and only the bold survive.
No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.
