The 20 Best Star Wars Games of All Time, Ranked
In addition to many successful films, the Star Wars series has also seen a number of incredible games that have brought its universe to life.
If you're a fan of the prequel movies like I am, this game is a dream come true. Imagine tearing through the sands of Tatooine beneath these iconic twins, weaving through canyons carved by centuries of wind and sand. The environments aren't just for show, either; players can expect to see clouds of dust behind their craft and hear the roar of engines louder than ever before. It all comes together to hit you right in the heart Star Wars galaxy. Let's dive in and take a look confirmed vehicles when will you be able to race October 6 will arrive.
Skim Speeder
Momentum rules the day
The first thing that caught my attention in the trailer was Skim Speederfloating through the wreckage of a Star Destroyer as if it were made for chaos. If you're the type of player who loves hugging tight turns and threading the needle through obstacles, this is the ride for you. Skim Speeder is all about precision and acceleration, allowing you to make those smooth and nimble moves that will leave everyone else in your dust. It may not have the power of larger vehicles, but its maneuverability is a complete game-changer when dodging attacks and sneaking around with hidden shortcuts. My heart pounded as I watched it blaze across a desert map littered with debris from the Galactic Civil War. It also got me thinking: what another legendary Star Wars places we will race? Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Naboo track just to see those gorgeous landscapes come to life.
These types of vehicles will work well, rewarding those who follow a steady, smooth path with higher placements, giving you plenty of time to slowly dodge obstacles. At racing speeds, last-minute turns may not end well for those behind the wheel. Riders can take advantage of vertical tilt, an advantage available to the Skim Speeder that no other highlighted vehicle can do in this range.

Speederbikes
Technical precision for gearboxes
Speederbikes they look like some of the fastest rides in the game. They are thin, with narrow, arrow-like bodies, built for sheer speed and for squeezing through narrow gaps. I've seen them power up along the track with glowing yellow rivers and massive aerial cables criss-crossing the ground, which definitely adds to the challenge. Obviously, the environment itself can be just as dangerous as your opponents, so knowing the maps and choosing the right vehicle for each track and weather condition will give you a real advantage.
Players who have a motorcycle license in real life can favor Speederbikes in the game. Known to tear up the road like any high-speed bike, riders will need to be just as careful in the game as they would be in the real world. The smooth body of the vehicle makes you an easy target for aggressive drivers who want to remove as many opponents as possible from the road. Even a little impact damage could be enough to make you explode into a ball of flame, but these vehicles are ideal for those who take turns with care and use explosive acceleration to catch up and potentially win.

Every Star Wars Game Currently in Development (April 2026)
There are many Star Wars games currently in the works, and this is a complete list of each project and its genres.
Landspeeder
Balanced all-round performance
The trailer also gave us a glimpse of a Landspeeder weaving through what looks like a Jakku racetrack with the Mandalorian making his way to first place. If you've ever wondered how a Landspeeder would fare in a high-stakes race, now's your chance to find out. Maybe this really is the way to win the Galactic Racing League. Landspeeders can reach really high speeds thanks to their heavy engines, but this also means that if you have to hit the brakes, it will take a while to get back up to top speed. My advice? Be on the lookout for shortcuts that will allow you to maintain your pace and avoid these slowdowns.
The Landspeeder is probably the repulsor that most of us will initially be able to drive best if we ever find ourselves in such a situation. It looks like it drives like a traditional car, and the Landspeeder is definitely the most durable vehicle we've seen. This would probably be the best vehicle to choose if you're someone like me who takes a lot of damage from opponents on the field and hazards on the race track.
Star Wars: The Greatest Starships, Rated
Naturally, the Star Wars universe was home to many spaceships. Which ones are the biggest?
Podracer
Pure speed in classic style
Let's be honest. Underdogs they are what many of us have been waiting for. If you've ever imagined yourself driving past Watt, you're in luck. The official website and trailer confirm that they feature classic Podracers Star Wars: Galactic Racer. I even noticed one racing through Ando Prime, just like in the original Podracing game back in 1999. Get ready for some serious nostalgia and high-speed action as we finally get to feel the adrenaline that young Anakin Skywalker felt when he only had love and hope in his heart, not consumed by the dark side.
No wonder we're all excited about Podracing. When I watched Anakin do those wild tricks and jumps, I always wondered what it would be like to handle that kind of speed. The podracers look like absolute beasts and if you can handle the insane power packed into these two engines, you'll have a real shot at taking the top spot. This vehicle may be best suited for experienced racers as using the air brakes to land after big jumps is no fun. But hey, if your ego is playing tricks on you and you want to go for it anyway, I'm right there with you. Sometimes you just need to send it.
