Someone accidentally leaked Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s release date on Steam
Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s release date has been accidentally revealed on Steam through a premature publication of pre-order bonus information. The racing game is scheduled to launch on October 6, 2026, roughly six months from the leak’s discovery.
The leak occurred when details for the game’s pre-order bonuses and deluxe edition were published ahead of an official announcement. According to the exposed information, standard edition pre-orders will include the base game along with a pre-order player banner and livery. The deluxe edition offers additional exclusive content, though complete details remain limited from the available information.
The accidental disclosure was shared widely online by gaming news outlets and community members. Some fans have speculated that the premature reveal may have preceded a planned formal announcement timed for Star Wars Day on May 4th, a traditional date for Star Wars-related announcements and reveals.
Galactic Racer is positioned as a podrace-themed racing game within the Star Wars universe, adding to the franchise’s growing slate of upcoming games. The 2026 release window will also see the launch of Star Wars: Zero Company, a tactics RPG. Both titles had previously been announced with a vague 2026 timeframe, and the leak provides the first specific release date confirmation for Galactic Racer.
