Star Wars: Galactic Racer Has Reached 1.5 Million Players

Star Wars: Galactic Racer has drawn in 1.5 million players in its first month since launch. The developers shared the milestone to mark one month since the game came out.

In their post, the developers thanked every one of the 1.5 million pilots who have joined the Galactic League. They said they’ve loved seeing players share their Arcade Event times, online multiplayer wins, and single-player highlights. The studio also promised to share more about the game’s future soon.

Keep in mind that this number counts players, not sales. The developers didn’t say how many copies the game has sold.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer launched on October 6, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It was developed by British studio Fuse Games, founded by former Criterion staff known for the Burnout and Need for Speed series. Secret Mode published the game.

Critics gave the game very high scores. On Metacritic, the PS5 version holds an 88, the Xbox Series X|S version an 86, and the PC version an 82. That’s the highest score for a Star Wars game since 2003’s Knights of the Old Republic. Galactic Racer beat Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Star Wars Zero Company, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Squadrons, and Star Wars Outlaws.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is set in the Outer Rim, home to the Galactic League, an unsanctioned racing circuit. The story campaign follows a mysterious pilot named Shade, who gets caught up in alliances, rivalries, and old grudges. The developers sum up the game with the line “No Force. No prophecy.” Instead of Jedi, the focus is on racers and outlaws.

Besides the campaign, the game includes Arcade Events and online multiplayer for up to 12 players. You can build your own vehicles from three types of repulsorcraft and race podracers, which fans will remember from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
