Steam Deck launch issue
Star Wars: Galactic Racer frozen on Steam Deck? Cancel the hidden EOS overlay
Cancel the hidden overlay before treating the apparent hang as a crash. This workaround applies to the documented Steam Deck issue.
PC offline access
Star Wars: Galactic Racer offline on PC: launch online first
Prepare the first launch before losing your connection; multiplayer and connected leaderboards still require internet access.
Online parties / Launch matchmaking
Star Wars: Galactic Racer party not starting? The two-player matchmaking rule
Three-person parties, larger race grids and AI opponents have different roles in launch matchmaking.
Ramjet / Cooling and cornering
Star Wars: Galactic Racer's cooling parts invite you to push Ramjet harder
Cooling effects extend the faster boost, but extra speed can leave the driver with a harder corner to negotiate.
No tyres, three handling models
Star Wars: Galactic Racer's speeders think they're cars, bikes and planes
Landspeeders drift, bikes burst out of tight turns and skim speeders roll onto one wing.
Upcoming racers / Campaign design
Star Wars: Galactic Racer's campaign is the reason to watch before launch
Its runs-based campaign is a more interesting promise than another lap around the galaxy.
