The engines are officially roaring. Star Wars: Galactic Racer just dropped its first full gameplay trailer — along with striking new key art — and confirmed it arrives later this year on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This isn’t just a logo reveal anymore. This is a real game. And it looks fast. First Real Look at Gameplay The official gameplay trailer finally shows what Galactic Racer actually feels like in motion. And it’s not just podracing nostalgia. We’re seeing: The footage leans into pure speed. Not cinematic storytelling. Not Jedi drama. Just momentum. And that’s refreshing. A Return to Star Wars Racing Star Wars hasn’t had a dedicated racing game in decades. Yes, there was Episode I: Racer.Yes, there have been racing segments across other titles. But Galactic Racer is the first modern, fully built racing experience under the Lucasfilm Games banner in years. Developed by Fuse Games…

6 Years Ago Today, Battlefront II Rolled Out the BB Update
On this day six years ago, Star Wars Battlefront II received one of its most memorable post-launch updates — the BB Update. It was the patch that added BB-8 and BB-9E as playable heroes, bringing some of the most unconventional — and surprisingly tactical — gameplay the game had seen up to that point. And yes, people absolutely underestimated the droids at first. The Day Support Heroes Stole the Spotlight BB-8 and BB-9E weren’t traditional blaster or lightsaber heroes. They were fast, low-profile support units built around: BB-8’s cable spin and support skills made him a chaos machine in tight objective modes, while BB-9E excelled at debuffing enemies and backing up frontline villains. They didn’t just “feel different” — they changed how teams approached choke points and close-quarters objectives. Sequel Era Supremacy Expands The update didn’t just add heroes. It also expanded Supremacy into the sequel trilogy era, letting players…
33 Years Later, X-Wing Still Defines Star Wars Space Combat
Star Wars: X-Wing turns 33 years old, and honestly? A lot of modern space games still live in its shadow. Released in February 1993 on good old-fashioned floppy disks, this wasn’t just another licensed Star Wars title. It helped define what Star Wars flight combat should feel like — tense, tactical, and very, very deadly if you got cocky. For many players, this was the first time the fantasy of sitting in the cockpit of an X-wing felt real instead of arcadey. The Game That Took Star Wars Into True 3D Space Back in the early ‘90s, most space games still leaned heavily on sprites and tricks. X-Wing went another direction. It became one of the first games to use 3D polygon graphics for spacecraft, meaning ships were fully rendered objects in space, not flat illusions. That sounds basic now, but in 1993 this was cutting-edge stuff — especially on…
That 2003 KOTOR Ad That Made Revan Look Almost Live-Action
Long before cinematic game trailers were standard, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was already being marketed like a film. One of the most striking examples is a 2003 print advertisement built around the phrase “Choose Your Path.” Instead of showing gameplay or ships, the ad centers on a hyper-realistic human face split down the middle — half heroic, half Sith. And it still looks wild today. A Face Between the Light and the Dark The ad’s design is simple but powerful: This wasn’t just cool art. It was a visual summary of what made Knights of the Old Republic revolutionary in 2003: your choices shape who you become. Is That Revan? Yes… and No Fans often look at this ad and ask: “Is that supposed to be Revan?” Marketing-wise, yes. Literally, no. Revan in KOTOR is a player-defined character, not a fixed face. The person shown in the…

Let’s Talk About Star Wars Jedi 3 Release Rumors — And Why It’s Too Early
Lately, you may have seen headlines suggesting that the next Star Wars Jedi game could arrive in the first half of 2026. Let’s slow down for a moment. There has been no official release window announcement from EA, Respawn, or Lucasfilm Games. None. And in the current state of the industry, that detail matters more than ever. Where the 2026 talk is coming from The speculation seems to be built on production timelines and assumptions about how long AAA sequels usually take. On paper, that can make sense. Fallen Order launched in 2019. Survivor followed in 2023. A 2026 target doesn’t sound impossible. But “possible” is not the same thing as confirmed. Right now, EA’s marketing focus has shifted away from Jedi: Survivor and toward Star Wars: Zero Company — a title that is officially slated for 2026 and still doesn’t have a specific release date. If a game already…
Star Wars Outlaws Is Now on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass
If you’ve been curious about Star Wars Outlaws but didn’t feel like dropping full price just to see if the galaxy’s first open-world(ish) scoundrel adventure is your thing… This is your moment. Star Wars Outlaws is now available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, meaning subscribers can jump in right away across console, PC, and cloud. And yes — it also supports cross-save, letting you continue your progress on other platforms if you want to bounce between systems. Why this matters right now Game Pass drops aren’t just “nice to have.” They’re effectively a second launch. A game going to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass means: For Outlaws specifically, this matters because the game thrives when people talk about: More players = more momentum. What’s included with Game Pass Here’s the important part: you’re not limited to one device. With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate,…
The Star Wars Games That Quietly Shaped Canon
Not all Star Wars canon was forged on the big screen. Some of the most important ideas, characters, and concepts in the galaxy far, far away didn’t arrive with a theatrical release or a Disney+ premiere. They slipped in quietly—through controller prompts, dialogue trees, and mission briefings—often unnoticed outside gaming circles. Over the years, Star Wars games have acted as a kind of narrative testing ground. A place where new ideas could be explored without the pressure of box office expectations. And in more than a few cases, those ideas didn’t stay in games—they reshaped canon itself. Games as a Narrative Sandbox For decades, Star Wars games occupied a strange middle ground. They weren’t movies.They weren’t novels.And for a long time, they weren’t treated as “important” canon either. That freedom turned out to be their greatest strength. Developers could explore moral ambiguity, alternative Force philosophies, and unexplored eras of the…
Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Xbox Was an Experiment That Still Feels Bold
When Star Wars: The Clone Wars debuted on the original Xbox in 2003, it wasn’t just another licensed tie-in. It was one of the first attempts to translate the sprawling, chaotic energy of large-scale Clone Wars battles into an interactive experience — and it did so in a way that still resonates with fans who grew up with the console. A Different Kind of Star Wars Combat Unlike lightsaber duels or ground-level infantry skirmishes, Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Xbox put you in the driver’s seat of the machines of war itself. This was a game about vehicles and battlefield roles: Rather than a traditional infantry-focused shooter, the game blended arcade action with objective-driven missions that required tactical thinking and situational awareness. In an era where Star Wars games often focused on cinematic set pieces or character quests, this title leaned into scale and strategy — letting players feel…
You’ve Played Knights of the Old Republic for Years — and Still Missed This
Even longtime Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic players have moments where the game surprises them. The kind of realization that hits hard because you’ve sunk dozens—maybe hundreds—of hours into it and somehow never noticed something obvious in hindsight. One such moment comes late in the game, right before the final confrontation with Darth Malak. Most players remember this stretch clearly: a tense buildup, repeated enemy encounters, and a sense that the game is deliberately testing your endurance before the finale. But here’s the thing: one of those encounters isn’t mandatory at all. The Detail Many Players Overlook In the area leading up to the final elevator sequence, the game pushes you into a combat-heavy scenario that feels completely scripted. Droids keep spawning, the pacing slows, and most players assume this is simply part of the intended challenge. What often goes unnoticed is that the elevator itself can be…
Best Star Wars Games Ranked by Replayability
Looking for the most replayable Star Wars games? Titles like Star Wars: The Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic, and classic Battlefront II still stand out thanks to strong systems, player choice, and active communities. Not all Star Wars games are created equal — and even fewer are worth replaying years after release. Some titles are unforgettable the first time through, but lose their magic once the credits roll. Others keep pulling players back thanks to strong systems, player choice, mods, multiplayer modes, or ongoing content. This ranking focuses on replayability above all else. Not nostalgia alone. Not review scores. But the games that still work in 2026 — and give you a reason to return. What Makes a Star Wars Game Truly Replayable? Before ranking the games, it’s worth defining what replayability actually means in practice. A replayable Star Wars game typically offers at least one of the…
Star Wars: Obi-Wan Was Released on This Day in 2001
Before prestige TV series and open-world adventures, Star Wars experimented in all kinds of directions. On this day in 2001, one of the more unusual entries arrived: Star Wars: Obi-Wan. It wasn’t a blockbuster hit. It wasn’t a critical darling. But it was an early attempt to put players directly in the boots of a Jedi — lightsaber, Force powers, and all — at a time when that idea was still being figured out. Why this matters now With Obi-Wan Kenobi firmly re-established as a central figure in modern Star Wars storytelling, it’s easy to forget how rare solo Jedi games once were. In 2001, playing as a single Force user in a fully 3D action game was still experimental territory. Star Wars: Obi-Wan arrived before Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, before modern combat systems, and long before cinematic third-person action games became standard. This was an early step — and…
Bobby Moynihan Is Bringing His Voice to Star Wars: Beyond Victory — and That’s the Point
Star Wars has no shortage of epic heroes, but right now, it’s the side characters who are doing something interesting. In a new interview with Industrial Light & Magic, Bobby Moynihan talks about his role in Star Wars: Beyond Victory, ILM Immersive’s upcoming mixed-reality experience — and why this project feels different from traditional Star Wars storytelling. Not louder. Not bigger. Just more personal. What Beyond Victory actually is Star Wars: Beyond Victory is an immersive Star Wars experience being developed by ILM Immersive, the same team behind Vader Immortal and Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge. It’s designed for mixed reality, blending the physical space around the player with Star Wars environments and characters. Rather than placing players in the middle of galaxy-spanning events, the story focuses on a more grounded corner of the universe, with podracing culture playing a central role. Moynihan voices a key character in that world…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Datacron Issue Explained — Rollbacks, Hotfixes, and a Massive Make-Good Incoming
If your Datacrons felt like they went through a few too many hyperspace jumps this week, you’re not imagining it. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has run into a significant Datacron issue tied to the recent update aimed at fixing the overpowered Attacker-affix Datacrons — and the fallout has been messy enough that Capital Games is now hitting the reset button. The good news? A rollback is coming.The better news? So is a very generous pile of compensation. Here’s what’s happening, what’s changing, and what you should (and shouldn’t) do right now. What Went Wrong With the Datacrons? Wednesday’s update was supposed to rein in overpowered Attacker-affix Datacrons, particularly within the Pillars of War set. While the bug that caused AoE attacks to deal far more damage than intended was addressed, the fix introduced new problems. Most notably, affected players were not granted enough resources to restore their Datacrons to…
Missing Sebulba While Waiting for Galactic Racer? Beyond Victory Has You Covered
Let’s be honest: if you’re even mildly excited about Star Wars: Galactic Racer, there’s a good chance you’re also wondering one very specific thing — when do we get Sebulba back? The galaxy’s most infamous podracing menace may not be tearing up the track just yet, but Star Wars: Beyond Victory is stepping in with something arguably even more dangerous: a Solo-era heist, with Sebulba right in the middle of it. And somehow, that feels exactly right. Back to the Galaxy’s Shadier Lanes Beyond Victory is set around the time of Solo: A Star Wars Story, an era that thrives on chaos, questionable deals, and people who smile while planning to double-cross you. This isn’t a story about heroes or destiny. It’s about survival, credits, and knowing when to run. Putting Sebulba at the center of a heist setup immediately tells you what kind of experience this is aiming for….
Star Wars Battlefront 2 suddenly captivates players and breaks records after the success of Andor
This year, the eight-year-old shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2 unexpectedly came into the spotlight of the gaming community. The game set its own records for the number of concurrent players, and fan discussions and calls for a continuation of the series show no sign of stopping. How did a largely forgotten video game become a phenomenon again, and what role does the Andor series play in this revival? The return of Battlefront 2 and why the old project is being discussed again When Star Wars Battlefront 2 was released in 2017, the project immediately faced serious criticism. The reason was in-game purchases—the so-called “lootboxes,” which gave players a tangible advantage for real money. The wave of outrage reached not only website ratings but was also discussed at the level of US government agencies. Despite large-scale overhauls of the monetization system and the removal of most controversial mechanics, the game faded…
How the Star Wars Outlaws team recreated Sabacc and changed the approach to mini-games
Star Wars Outlaws surprised players not only with the scale of its world, but also with the unexpected reincarnation of the legendary card game Sabacc. Why did the developers need to rethink this iconic element of the universe, how difficult was it to integrate it into modern gameplay, and what did it bring to fans of cunning cosmic gambling games? The history and significance of Sabacc in the Star Wars universe Sabacc is not just a card game, but an important element of Star Wars mythology, one of the symbols of the underworld life of the Galaxy. It first appeared in early books and comics, and gained wide recognition thanks to the film “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” where the famous “Millennium Falcon” was at stake. Later, Sabacc began to appear in animated series, board games, and numerous fan projects. For fans of the franchise, the authenticity of this game…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Update 12-17 Breakdown (Datacrons, Make Goods, and a Small Oops)
Another day, another Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update—and this one comes with a mix of welcome compensation, balance fixes, and a Datacron situation that’s… still loading. Here’s the clear, no-nonsense breakdown of Update 12-17, what changed, and why you should probably check your inbox (and your Datacrons) before jumping back into combat. 5,000 Era Currency Has Been Granted (Yes, Really) Let’s start with the good news: 5,000 Era Currency has now been granted to all affected accounts as part of the previously announced make good. If you were impacted by the earlier issues, this compensation should already be sitting in your inbox, quietly judging you for how fast you’re going to spend it. This is tied to the earlier situation explained in the official make-good update, so if you were waiting for the follow-through—this is it. Episode Pass Text Cleanup (Goodbye, Galactic Challenges) The Episode Pass description has been…
Star Wars Outlaws Hits Its Lowest Price Ever on Xbox and PC
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to jump into Star Wars Outlaws, this might be it. The open-world Star Wars adventure is currently available at its lowest price ever on Xbox and Steam, with an even deeper discount offered through Ubisoft Connect when using the HOLIDAY promo code. The sale runs for a limited time, ending in early January. For a game built around exploration, freedom, and life on the edge of the galaxy, the timing couldn’t be better. A Different Kind of Star Wars Story Unlike traditional Jedi-focused Star Wars games, Outlaws puts players in the role of Kay Vess, a scoundrel navigating the criminal underworld alongside her companion Nix and droid ND-5. Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the game leans heavily into: It’s Star Wars seen from ground level — messy, dangerous, and morally flexible. A Multi-Open-World Galaxy Rather than…
Star Wars KOTOR Remake Is Still in Active Development at Mad Head Games
After years of uncertainty, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is once again showing clear signs of life. According to recent comments from Mad Head Games, the studio is actively working on the long-awaited remake — and while specific details remain under wraps, the message is clear: the project is real, ongoing, and significant. For fans who have been cautiously optimistic since the remake was first announced, that alone is meaningful news. Mad Head Games Confirms Active Development Mad Head Games has stated that the KOTOR Remake is currently in development, describing it as: “By far the biggest project we have ever done.” That phrasing matters. It suggests not only scale, but priority. Rather than being a side project or a stalled transition, KOTOR appears to be a central focus for the studio. Unsurprisingly, the team is keeping specifics close to the chest. No gameplay details, no…
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Dominates The Game Awards Conversation
When the dust settled after The Game Awards, one thing became clear: Star Wars didn’t just show up — it dominated the conversation. According to post-event analytics, the Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic tease trailer emerged as the most watched trailer of the entire show, outperforming reveals from some of the biggest franchises in gaming. For a brand that already carries enormous cultural weight, the numbers confirm that interest in Star Wars games is not just strong — it’s accelerating. And it wasn’t a one-hit moment. Fate of the Old Republic Was Everywhere Beyond raw viewership, Fate of the Old Republic also ranked as the second most written-about game following The Game Awards. That metric matters just as much as views, if not more. It reflects sustained discussion, analysis, speculation, and editorial coverage — the kind of attention that doesn’t disappear once the trailer ends. For a project…
From KOTOR to Fate of the Old Republic: Casey Hudson’s Star Wars Return
When Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was announced, one name immediately caught the attention of longtime RPG fans: Casey Hudson. Best known as the director of Knights of the Old Republic and the creative force behind the Mass Effect trilogy, Hudson is officially returning to Star Wars—this time as founder and CEO of Arcanaut Studios. Rather than revisiting the past, Fate of the Old Republic represents a new chapter in Hudson’s career and in Star Wars gaming. It’s a return to the Old Republic era built around player choice, narrative consequence, and cinematic storytelling—the same pillars that helped define some of the most influential role-playing games of the last two decades. Casey Hudson Casey Hudson is a Canadian video game director, producer, and studio executive best known for his work on narrative-driven role-playing games. He rose to prominence at BioWare, where he served as project director on Star…

Star Wars gaming is officially entering one of its busiest and most ambitious eras in years. After a long period of cancellations, uncertainty, and rumors, Lucasfilm Games now has multiple confirmed Star Wars titles actively in development, spanning different genres, studios, and eras of the galaxy.

Star Wars Jedi 3 The third entry in Respawn Entertainment’s successful Jedi series is officially…
Star Wars: Galactic Racer Announced — A New Racing Game Is Coming in 2026
Star Wars is officially heading back to the fast lane. A brand-new racing game titled Star Wars: Galactic Racer has been announced, with a confirmed 2026 release window. After years of fans asking whether Star Wars would ever return to high-speed racing gameplay, the answer is finally yes—and this time, it’s going galactic. What Is Star Wars: Galactic Racer? Unlike classic podracing titles that focused on a single sport or era, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is being positioned as a galaxy-spanning racing experience. The emphasis appears to be on high-stakes competition across the Outer Rim, with dangerous tracks, outlaw racers, and escalating risk-and-reward mechanics. Early descriptions point toward a runs-based structure, where races aren’t just about finishing first—they’re about survival, momentum, and pushing your luck. Lose everything, or escape with massive winnings. It’s a racing game built around tension, not just lap times. Not Just Podracing While the word Racer…
