Galactic Racer is out: over 11,000 on Steam, what players say, and what's broken
Star Wars: Galactic Racer had 11,257 people playing on Steam at 11am Central on launch day, with Steam reviews at 77% positive. The big complaint is that PC players cannot rebind keys. Here are the numbers, the known issues and who should wait.
Galactic Racer unlocks at 4am Central Tuesday: preload, Steam Deck, PC specs and what to know tonight
Star Wars: Galactic Racer unlocks everywhere at 09:00 UTC on Tuesday, October 6, with no early access. Reviews are in at 87 on OpenCritic. A PS5 preload is reported but not on the store page, Steam and Xbox show none, and Steam Deck is still unrated.
Galactic Racer reviews are in: critics love the racing and the roguelike campaign
The embargo lifted Friday morning, four days before launch, and the scores sit in the high 80s. Critics praise the handling, the sense of speed and the run-based campaign; the complaints are repeating planets, hard-to-read tracks and a thin story payoff. What it means for your preorder.
