The Outer Rim is your highway in Star Wars Galactic Racer, but it's more than Burnout in space: "You can’t make a Star Wars racing experience and not have Podracing"

Big in 2026 - Star Wars Galactic Racer.

Announced at The Game Awards 2025, Star Wars Galactic Racer looks like a high-octane racer that many of us didn't know we needed. Set against the backdrop of the Outer Rim, renowned as the most dangerous place in the Star Wars universe, Galactic Racers aims to fill a very particular niche in the landscape of racing games – and its developer has a track record of delivering the goods.

"We believe this style of high speed, intense, aggressive, track-based arcade racing hasn't been fully served for modern HD gamers," Fuse Games CEO and co-founder Matt Webster tells GamesRadar+. He should know: Fuse is something of a household name for gearheads, having brought us some of the most iconic and best racing games of all time. While Galactic Racer's "pick up and play" ethos riffs off car beat-'em-up Burnout's own brand of simple, approachable fun, it's also an authentic upcoming Star Wars game with "real depth across all the systems", including progression "in tune with the depth of mastery and replayability that racing brings," according to Webster.
