Star Wars: Galactic Racer is out worldwide today, October 6, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Amazon also says that in supported Amazon Luna regions, Prime members can stream the single-player campaign at no extra cost on compatible devices.
So yes, that cuts out a separate purchase, the usual massive download, and even the need for dedicated gaming hardware. The catch is that Luna support still depends on where you live. Even so, this is a pretty unusual day-one launch for Amazon Luna, and cloud players can jump in right away.
And no, this isn’t a re-release or a remake of 1999’s Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a brand-new post-Empire racing game centered on Shade and the underground Galactic League. It mixes podracing-style speed with landspeeders and speeder bikes, then adds a roguelike run structure where winning helps, losing still matters, and both push your progress forward.
If you’re after a Star Wars game that does something different, this one looks easy to recommend. Early reviews have been strong: ScreenRant scored it 8/10, while Collider went even higher at 9.5/10. The praise keeps landing in the same places too, its sense of speed, the tight handling, the cinematic campaign, and the way it sits next to Star Wars Jedi and Star Wars Zero Company as part of Lucasfilm’s broader genre push.
You can pick up Star Wars: Galactic Racer now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, or play it through Amazon Luna in supported regions.
