Late last night the release date for Star Wars: Galactic Racer leaked via the games Steam page along with a bunch of details for the Deluxe Edition of the game, including a slick looking Steelbook case!

Release Date

According to the game’s Steam page, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is due to release on October 6th 2026. This is much later than I anticipated given the games reveal in December 2025 at The Game Awards and its gameplay trailer shortly after at a Playstation State of Play event in February.

As per the image below, Star Wars: Galactic Racer also comes with a Pre-Order bonus that contains a player banner, that can be used for the online multiplayer, and a livery that is available to use across all speeders in the game. This is also the image that was the lead culprit in revealing the release date.

Deluxe Edition

The Steam page leak also revealed details about the Deluxe edition of Star Wars: Galactic Racer which contains a number of additional content.

First of all, there are 3 exclusive repulsorcraft available in the form of a landerspeeder, speeder bike and skim speeder, all manufactured by Kor Sarun, a seemingly new manufacturer to Star Wars. Alongside these 3 exclusive craft, we have an exclusive livery inspired by the illustrious Naboo N-1 Starfighter. The livery can be applied to all repulsorcraft in the game.

It also looks as though depending on what platform you pre-order the game on, you’ll get an exclusive platform livery, which is the same but different colours; Blue for Playstation, Green for Xbox, and Red for PC.

In addition to the repulsorcraft and liveries, deluxe edition purchases will give players a digital artbook and 3 unique arcade events that tie into the 3 exclusives racers.

Whilst that’s it for the digital deluxe edition, if you pre-order the physical copy you’ll receive a steelbook case with a sleeve that provides you with an alternative piece of art. Personally I am a HUGE fan of its design and will no doubt look to buy that myself for my collection.

Will you be pre-ordering Star Wars: Galactic Racer?
