Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a fabulous looking and frantically fast anti-grav racer that gets a little repetitive thanks to its heavy reliance on repeatedly revisiting the same slim selection of planets. Our review:

Lucasfilm Games is becoming more flexible about who gets to make Star Wars games. After Star Wars: Zero Company and Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Lucasfilm Games executive Douglas Reilly says the company is now more open to pitches from different developers and publishers. “We’re more flexible about, like, who we’re willing to take pitches from and good ideas can come from a lot of different places.” The change comes after EA’s 10-year exclusivity deal ended in 2023, opening the door for more studios to work on Star Wars. “You don’t have to necessarily be a top five publisher to make a great Star Wars game.” But the company is clearly willing to look beyond the biggest names in the industry. Reilly says Lucasfilm is exploring projects with “large and small partners” that could “continue to surprise folks.”

Denuvo may have just made cracking games a lot harder. A new version of its DRM appears to be causing problems for Hypervisor-based cracks, with Star Wars: Galactic Racer refusing to run properly when a required CPU feature flag is disabled. According to a post on a cracking forum, forcing the setting off now causes the game to crash, blocking a workaround that previously helped bypass Denuvo. Looks like the cat-and-mouse game between Denuvo and crackers is far from over.

Podracers are back. Sebulba is back. And the Burnout veterans behind Star Wars: Galactic Racer know speed. The photo mode is basic, but free camera + aperture are enough to catch the chaos. 🔗
