Star Wars: Galactic Racer – 5 Things We're Loving So Far

PureXbox's early hands-on with Star Wars: Galactic Racer on Xbox Series X reveals five standout features that have them hooked. Here's what we know so far.

Ever wished you could dive back into the podracing glory days of Star Wars Episode 1 Racer? Well, Star Wars: Galactic Racer might just be the game you've been waiting for. It's the debut title from UK studio Fuse Games, and from what we've seen so far, it's shaping up to be a dream come true for fans of the classic.

Our friends over at PureXbox have been eagerly anticipating this one for months, and they finally got their hands on a pre-release review code. Though it arrived a little later than they'd hoped (hence no full review yet), they couldn't wait to share some early impressions ahead of launch. Just remember, these thoughts are based on only a few initial hours with the campaign.

So what's got them so excited? They've put together a list of five things they're absolutely loving about the game on Xbox Series X. While the full details are over on PureXbox, the excitement is palpable – it sounds like Fuse Games has captured something special.

For anyone who grew up with Episode 1 Racer, this is huge news. The trailers and preview footage have looked promising, but now we're getting a taste of the real thing. And if these early impressions are anything to go by, Galactic Racer could be the racing game Star Wars fans have been craving.

Of course, it's still early days. The campaign is only a few hours in, and there's plenty more to see. But the fact that PureXbox is already singing its praises is a good sign. We'll have to wait for the full review to know if it sticks the landing, but for now, color us intrigued.
