For digital pre-orders, you can choose between the Standard and Deluxe Edition. Preordering any edition of Galactic Racer will reward players with a bonus Livery for their repulsorcraft, which can be used on landspeeders, speeder bikes, and skim speeders, and a bonus Player Banner.

The Deluxe Edition comes with more goodies at $79.99 / £64.99, including exclusive vehicles like the Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder, Kor Sarun: Ciza T speeder bike, and the Kor Sarun: Rac S skim speeder.

Three Arcade events designed specifically for the vehicles mentioned above will also be featured, along with a Livery Pack, Player Banner Pack, and a Digital Art Book.

Additional content in the Deluxe Edition will also be available for purchase as downloadable content (DLC) at launch in the Deluxe Upgrade.

Physical Deluxe and Standard Editions are only available for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Series S.

There's also a gorgeous Collector's Edition with a $159.99 / £139.99 price tag. This edition includes all content from the Deluxe Edition, as well as a metal model of the Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder, Kestar’s Banner, racing pilot patches, a physical 80-page art book, and a steel case with a custom cardboard slipcover, all wrapped in a fancy Collector’s Edition box.

Galactic Racer seems like the Star Wars racing game I've always wanted. Set in a post-Empire era, the game will feature tracks across several planets, including Tatooine, Ando Prime, Lantaana, Sentinel I, and Jakku, vehicle customization, and speeders of all kinds to master.

"In the Galactic League, you’ll face off against rival racing pilots who will do anything to win," Fuse Games teases. "Master the art of piloting landspeeders, speeder bikes, skim speeders, and podracers. Slam, shunt, and takedown your rivals across new and iconic locations in the Star Wars galaxy.

"No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to survive."
