Star Wars: Galactic Racer was released on October 6, 2026, and Amazon said Prime members can stream it at no additional cost through its Luna cloud gaming service. GameSpot reported the offer covers the single-player campaign, and Polygon said the news release names the single-player campaign plus Arcade and Scenarios modes as playable, meaning players would still need to buy the game to race others online. The game's list price is $60, according to GameSpot. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
“We've always believed Luna players deserve to be in the action from day one, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer makes that a reality for the first time,” Jeff Gattis, Head of Gaming at Amazon, said in a blog post, according to GameSpot. Gattis added that Luna players can start the single-player campaign without owning a console or waiting for a lengthy download. [ 1 ]
The game is a racing roguelike set in the Galactic League, described by Polygon as an underground racing circuit where finishing first is not guaranteed. GameSpot reported it was developed by Fuse Games, a studio founded by racing veterans from the Burnout and Need for Speed franchises, and IGN reported it is the first podracing game to release in over two decades. It is out on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S and Amazon Luna. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Review coverage cited by the outlets was positive. GameSpot said the game currently has a Metascore of 88 on Metacritic, a figure Polygon also reported, calling it a top-five Star Wars game of all time. Polygon's Oli Welsh called it “the best arcade racing game in a generation,” writing that the learning curve is steep and there is a lot to manage, but that “the rush is unmatched.” IGN's Luke Reilly wrote that it is “a fabulous looking and frantically fast anti-grav racer” that “gets a little repetitive thanks to its heavy reliance on repeatedly revisiting the same slim selection of planets.” [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Polygon noted that two well-reviewed Star Wars games were released within six weeks in 2026, Galactic Racer and Star Wars Zero Company. GameSpot reported that Luna offers a rotating selection of games each month, with members also able to claim downloadable PC games redeemable on storefronts such as the Epic Games Store and GOG, and that September's line-up included id Software's Doom titles.

The release puts a high-profile Star Wars title on a cloud service at no extra cost to Prime members, a distribution route that does not require a console or a download. Polygon reported only single-player modes are named as playable in the news release, so players wanting to race online still need to buy the game. The coverage across three gaming outlets indicates the title is being treated as a major release for the platform.
