Star Wars: Galactic Racer Doubles Party Size to 6

Ever tried to squeeze six friends into a three-person party in Star Wars: Galactic Racer? Yeah, it's a problem. But good news: developer Fuse Games has heard your cries and is doubling the party limit from three to six players.

The studio responded to fan concerns on social media, saying, "Thank you so much for your feedback and we'd like to let you and everyone on this thread know that we hear you." They added, "We're working on an update to increase the party size from three to six players, with the aim of releasing it within the first few weeks of launch." More details are promised soon.

This comes after the game received rave reviews from critics. IGN's review called it "a fabulous looking and frantically fast anti-grav racer… that has successfully lit the afterburners on a long-dormant slice of the Star Wars universe." Fans have been equally enthusiastic, but the small party size was a sticking point.

So why does this matter? Racing games are often best with friends, and a three-player cap felt restrictive. Doubling it to six means more chaotic fun, bigger lobbies, and likely a more vibrant community. It's a smart move by Fuse Games to listen and act quickly.

The update is expected within the first few weeks of launch, so you won't have to wait long. Keep an eye on official channels for more details. In the meantime, start planning your six-person podrace.
