Original Story: You will be playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer on PS5 from 6th October 2026, if a temporary update to the game's Steam page is to be believed. Over the weekend, the PC platform had the release date displayed publicly, but it has been pulled in the time since. Wario64 captured the date, along with its Deluxe Edition contents, as seen below:
If you opt for the Deluxe Edition, you get the following on top of the base game and a pre-order bonus of a ship skin and player banner:

The Deluxe Edition, which has the 6th October 2026 release date in its promotional picture, also packs in a steelbook if you buy it physically. As we approach the summer season, there are a number of livestreams and showcases where the Star Wars: Galactic Racer release date could be officially confirmed. For now, it's back to being a 2026 title.
From its origins in Star Wars Episode I: Racer, this new Star Wars racing game is pitched as "a high-stakes reinvention" where you'll compete in The Galactic League for first place. Will you play this in October? Tell us in the comments below.

@Yousef- This is right up my street too!
Really hoping this is good. Would love to get my hands on a demo.
Need some more Redout / Wipeout / F-Zero style racers in my life.
Looking forward to this one.
The leaker just couldn’t wait for May 4th could they…
I just want a new Wipeout but this could do!
Shockingly enough this game looks good.
From the moment it was revealed, this became a top 3 most anticipated game of 2026 for me.
I was hoping for a summer release, but I guess October still gives us a month to smash it until GTA VI.
Why is podracing mentioned in headline? I don't see any podracing going on in these screenshots. This looks like a hovercraft racing game, not podracing.
@captainsandman It’s right at the end of the trailer.
@SoulChimera Ah. I see that now. Looks sweet!
I'll try spinning, that's a good trick
This game looks so damn cool. May the torque be with you!
Looks fun. I hope they don't mess things up.
This looks really good. Remember seeing the recent reveal trailer and thinking this was the pod racer game. Crazy that after so many years we're actually getting 2 new star wars racers
This feels like my sleeper hit this year.
