If, like me, you love the Podracing scene in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, then this is going to excite you!

A teaser trailer has dropped for new Star Wars game Star Wars: Galactic Racer and it looks great!

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a high-stakes, high-octane reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars™ galaxy. Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2026.

A new racer has arrived to the Galactic League: an unsanctioned racing circuit where only the bold survive.

The game speeds in later this year.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars.
