Star Wars: Galactic Racer is out — $59.99 on PS5, Xbox and PC, with crossplay but no split-screen

Star Wars: Galactic Racer came out on 6 October 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC: a runs-based racer from Fuse Games, published by Secret Mode, in which you race landspeeders, speeder bikes and skim speeders through the Galactic League as Shade — and podracers in races of their own. It is $59.99, with crossplay on by default and up to 12 players online, but no split-screen, no wheel support and no Switch 2 version.

Midnight arrives region by region, over roughly a day.

Launch moment: midnight local time on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Out since 6 October 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam and the Epic Games Store). Secret Mode gave the date without a clock time.

Unlock time

When Galactic Racer unlocks where you are

Midnight arrives in one zone after another, so the same release date spans about 20 hours end to end. Every row unlocks at 00:00 on its own clock.
Where Unlocks at After the first zone
New ZealandPacific/Auckland 00:00 local first
Australia (east)Australia/Sydney 00:00 local 2 h later
Japan & KoreaAsia/Tokyo 00:00 local 4 h later
PhilippinesAsia/Manila 00:00 local 5 h later
IndiaAsia/Kolkata 00:00 local 7 h 30 m later
MoscowEurope/Moscow 00:00 local 10 h later

BrazilAmerica/Sao Paulo 00:00 local 16 h later
US EasternAmerica/New York 00:00 local 17 h later
US PacificAmerica/Los Angeles 00:00 local 20 h later

This one unlocks at midnight local time, so the date is Tuesday, 6 October 2026 wherever you are but the moment is not. That is also the one case where changing your console or store region does something: a zone that has already passed midnight is already playing.
