Star Wars: Galactic Racer made its gameplay debut during the February 2026 State of Play, with a short trailer from Fuse Games to showcase its podracing in action after the developer confirmed we'd have podracers alongside speeders and other vehicles from the Star Wars universe.
The gameplay shown did its best to showcase how Fuse is trying to convey how insanely fast these vehicles are going. As much as the studio needs to hit the mark on the look of the world, the track design, and the handling for each of the vehicles, it'll all be for nought if it can't properly convey that feeling of speed in the gameplay.
Today's trailer, albeit short, showed that this studio of former Burnout developers likely hasn't lost its touch, and that this racer is going in the right direction. We also got a look at some of the different viewing angles players will be able to choose from while racing, whether you want to see more of the track or be right in the action with a front view.
Unfortunately, we didn't get any kind of update on its release date beyond its previously announced 2026 release window. Hopefully, we'll start to see more of the game as we get deeper into the year. After it first appeared at The Game Awards 2025, it wouldn't be too much of a surprise for it to appear at Summer Game Fest this coming June 2026.
