The latest State of Play trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer expanded on the game’s racing showpiece, offering a clearer sense of scope and a direct nod to podracing.

Footage highlighted the Galactic League as a framing device for the game’s structure and dropped several gameplay beats. First‑person cockpit views appeared alongside third‑person chases, while destruction and environmental variety were emphasised through tracks that are not uniformly sand‑covered. Scenes also featured wrecked Star Destroyers looming over courses and fast‑moving speeder bikes weaving through combat and obstacles.

The most notable reveal was a proper podracer making an appearance on the track, a clear tease that classic Star Wars racing hardware will form part of the package. Short story snippets in the trailer suggested a narrative element tied to league competition, though details remained scarce.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is slated for release in 2026, with no exact date announced in the trailer or accompanying coverage. Full coverage and additional context are available in Game Informer’s report on the State of Play.
