Star Wars Galactic Racer will soon welcome larger podracing parties, with multiplayer group size limits set to double in a future update
Fuse Games will double the multiplayer party size in Star Wars: Galactic Racer from three to six players within weeks of launch, responding to player feedback.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer opened its multiplayer racetracks to the public earlier this week, though the reviewer paused multiplayer sessions after extensive single-player play. The developer Fuse Games has now announced plans to expand multiplayer group sizes, allowing players to invite up to six friends instead of the current three. The update aims to address player requests for larger racing parties and is expected within the first few weeks of the game’s launch. The studio acknowledged the feedback in a public response, signaling a commitment to adjusting multiplayer features based on community input.
The change reflects an effort to enhance multiplayer experiences by replacing bots with more real players, potentially increasing the unpredictability and intensity of races. While the reviewer’s experience with multiplayer was limited before launch, they noted that larger player counts could lead to closer, more chaotic races. The update may also address concerns about the current party size feeling restrictive for group play. Players who prefer single-player can still enjoy the game’s rogue-lite campaign while waiting for the update.
The reviewer highlighted the game’s rogue-lite campaign as its standout feature, focusing on runs-based progression rather than multiplayer mechanics. They praised the racing mechanics for delivering a strong sense of speed and competitive depth, despite the lighter feel of speeders compared to heavier vehicles in other arcade racers. The adrenaline-pumping races were compared favorably to other titles in the reviewer’s preferred racing rankings. The game’s core racing experience remains robust even without multiplayer participation.
Fuse Games has not provided further details about the update beyond the planned increase in party size and the timeline for release. The announcement follows player feedback shared publicly on social media, indicating a responsive approach to community requests. Players can expect more information about the update in the coming weeks as development progresses. The update’s focus on multiplayer improvements underscores the studio’s prioritization of player-driven adjustments.
