At Summer Game Fest 2026, 4Gamer went hands-on with Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a new racing game from Fuse Games and Secret Mode. Set after Return of the Jedi, players control bounty hunter Shade in a branching single-player campaign across planets like Jakku. The game features four vehicle types including the new skimspeeder, and is developed by veterans of Burnout and Need for Speed.
Fuse Games, founded by CEO Matt Webster, is staffed largely by former Criterion Games developers who worked on Burnout, Need for Speed, and Star Wars: Battlefront. That pedigree is on display in Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a racing adventure set in the Outer Rim after Return of the Jedi. The campaign follows Shade, a helmeted bounty hunter, through branching races on planets like Jakku and Ando Prime. The new skimspeeder vehicle type offers high-speed drifting. The game launches October 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
