Developers Fuse Games have announced that Star Wars: Galactic Racer will receive an update in the coming weeks to double its multiplayer party size limit. The change will allow up to six players to join a single podracing lobby, an increase from the current limit of three.
The developer responded to player feedback on social media, stating they "hear you" and are working on the increase. While a precise release window has not been confirmed, Fuse Games aims to deploy the update within the first few weeks following the game's launch.
While the full impact of larger lobbies on the chaotic potential of multiplayer races remains to be seen, early impressions suggest that more human opponents could lead to more dynamic and competitive battles. The game's single-player experience already offers significant challenge and excitement, ensuring that players can still enjoy the core racing mechanics while awaiting the multiplayer expansion.
Fuse Games highlighted the core racing mechanics of Star Wars: Galactic Racer in their review, noting that while the vehicles may lack the tactile weight of those in games like Burnout, the sense of speed and the variety of methods for gaining an advantage create an adrenaline-pumping experience. The game features a roguelite campaign that complements its on-track action.
