System Requirements

This page lists the confirmed PC system requirements for Star Wars: Galactic Racer. Both minimum and recommended tiers are now published. The minimum figures below describe the entry specification; the recommended hardware is listed separately.

Minimum PC requirements

Recommended requirements

The published recommended tier is below. It does not list an operating-system field, a resolution target or a guaranteed framerate. Windows 10 appears in the minimum tier and is not repeated here as a separate recommended requirement. The October 2 record also noted that the earlier FAQ described the minimum specification as subject to change.

Graphics Technology

The PC version supports NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 on day one. That includes Super Resolution using the second-generation transformer model, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction. The game's lighting uses hardware-accelerated, ray-traced Lumen, which Ray Reconstruction further refines. These are upscaling, frame-generation, and denoising features that can raise framerate and image quality on supported NVIDIA hardware, so the published minimum specification does not tell the whole story for players with a compatible card.

Supported Languages

The game ships in fourteen languages. English is the only one with full voice audio; the remaining thirteen cover the interface and subtitles, so menus and spoken dialogue are readable in each of them even though the performances stay in English. One console storefront listing gives a bare count of fifteen without itemizing which languages it means, and that extra entry has not been identified anywhere, so the itemized fourteen below is what this page records. Subtitle and caption options are covered on Accessibility and Platform Features.

Content Rating and Copy Protection

The game carries an ESRB rating of Everyone 10+, with Fantasy Violence and Language listed as content descriptors. The console listings also flag two interactive elements, In-Game Purchases and Users Interact, the latter covering the online multiplayer described on Game Modes. The rating was still pending when pre-orders opened in April 2026 and has since been assigned.

Ratings are issued separately by each territory's board, so the age label on the box differs by region. In PEGI territories the game is rated 12, with Mild Swearing, Moderate Violence, and In-Game Purchases as its descriptors. The table below lists the board ratings assigned so far.

Two further age labels appear on storefront pages for this game, a German 12 and an Indian 18, but both are flagged in the storefront data as automatically generated from the publisher’s own questionnaire rather than issued by a ratings board. They are not board decisions and are deliberately left out of the table above.

The PC build uses Denuvo Anti-Tamper copy protection, with a five-machine activation limit. That limit governs how many separate computers a single purchase can be activated on, and it applies to the PC release only; the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S versions are unaffected. The PC listing also requires agreement to the game's own end user license agreement.

The developers' FAQ adds that Denuvo does not impact game performance, which is the studio's own statement rather than an independently measured result. Steam players also need the Epic Online Services redistributable, which the game prompts you to install on first launch if the Epic Games Store is not already on the PC. Steam does not allow optional installs, so it cannot be skipped, and it is what enables crossplay in online multiplayer. An Epic Games account is only needed to manage friends who are not on Steam. Keyboard and mouse are supported on PC, though the store page recommends a controller. Cross-play and the other online details are on Multiplayer.

Platforms

Beyond PC, the game is confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. As of October 2, 2026, no version for any other platform, including Nintendo Switch 2, has been announced by the developer or publisher, and the developers' FAQ says there are currently no plans for VR support. On PlayStation 5 the store listing carries the PS5 Pro Enhanced label, though what the enhancement consists of had not been detailed. The Xbox Store's product data lists a maximum install size of 39,735,742,464 bytes, roughly 40 GB, for the Xbox version; listed sizes can change once launch updates arrive. The PC build runs on Unreal Engine 5, and the game released across all three platforms on October 6, 2026. The editions and storefronts for each platform are covered on Editions and Pre-Order Bonuses.

Platform Features and Accessibility

Beyond the hardware specification, the console listings advertise 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, 60 fps or higher, and Xbox achievements on Xbox Series X|S, and Remote Play on PlayStation 5. Online play on console requires an active platform subscription. The PlayStation 5 listing also publishes 29 accessibility features covering visuals, audio, subtitles and captions, controls, and gameplay assists. All of these are broken down on Accessibility and Platform Features.

Authentication, handheld play and launch fixes

PC players need an online connection for authentication on their first launch. After that, the solo campaign, Arcade events and Scenarios can be played offline. Multiplayer, connected Arcade leaderboards and downloading updates need a connection.

The developers state that consistent 30 fps is achievable on Steam Deck with optimal settings, but have not supplied an exact preset in that statement. This is separate from the compatibility-rating check recorded before release.

The October 8 hotfix raised the graphics-driver versions checked at boot and added DLSS stability fixes. If a driver update is required, the next boot may take longer because the shader cache must rebuild. Exact driver version numbers were not included in the patch note. The October 6 known-issues list includes a Frame Generation crash on Nvidia 50-series GPUs with DLSS, but the hotfix does not identify every listed issue as fixed. Known Issues and Troubleshooting records the dated list and support steps.

Cloud services

Amazon Luna added the game on October 6, 2026, for Prime members in territories where Luna is available with Prime. Its launch coverage names the Campaign, Arcade and Scenarios. That list does not establish a separate restriction on multiplayer.

GeForce NOW announced the game for its library during the week of its October 8 update. The October 6 date in that announcement is the Steam release date; the provider says games are onboarded after release and availability can vary during the week.
