Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the upcoming arcade racing game featuring podracers, speeder bikes, landspeeders, and more fast rides from the Star Wars universe will apparently be released on October 6. The release date was posted to Steam and quickly removed, but not before eagle-eyed storefront watcher Wario64 spotted it.

“STAR WARS: Galactic Racer will release on Oct 6, 2026 according to Steam. Deluxe Edition contents revealed (Steelbook included with physical purchase),” Wario64 noted in their post. A check of the Galactic Racer Steam page an hour later showed a generic “2026” release date.

Galactic Racer was announced at the 2025 Game Awards, and it’s being developed by Fuse Games, a team comprised of a number of former Burnout and Need for Speed developers founded in 2023. It was last seen at Sony’s State of Play broadcast back in February.

Regardless of whether or not the October 6 release date holds, we’ve still got new Star Wars to look forward to in the near future, with The Mandalorian and Grogu set to hit theaters next month. We got the final trailer earlier this week.
