Star Wars: Galactic Racer gets multiplayer update from 3 to 6 players
Fuse Games says Star Wars: Galactic Racer will get a post-launch update that raises multiplayer from 3 to 6 players within weeks of release.
The current party size is set at 3 players and the studio says it will be expanded to 6 players.
The developer says the update is expected to arrive within the first few weeks after release.
What happened
IGN reports that Fuse Games responded to feedback about the multiplayer party size through the official Star Wars: Galactic Racer account. In that response, the studio says the 3-player limit will be increased to 6 players. That is the specific change announced for now.
According to the shared message, the plan is to roll out that change in an update within the first few weeks after launch. This is the developer’s expectation, not a final release date. The wording in the source points to a time window rather than a fixed day on the calendar.
The source also says the response was shared through the game’s official social media channel. In the provided text, Fuse Games says it has heard concerns about party size and expects to release an update that will take multiplayer from three to six players. That ties the increase directly to player feedback.
IGN also says the game has been well received by critics. In its summary, the site describes Star Wars: Galactic Racer as a fast anti-grav racer and points to its visuals and return to the Star Wars universe. That provides context for the game’s reception, but it does not change the announced multiplayer update.

Background
The numbers in this report are clear: Star Wars: Galactic Racer currently supports 3 players per party and is set to move to 6 players via an update. That would double the current limit, as reflected in IGN’s headline.
The timing remains tentative. Fuse Games has given a window of a few weeks after release, but has not confirmed a fixed date. So this is a planned update, not a patch date or published changelog.
The social post included with the report adds one more detail: the studio says it has heard concerns about party sizes and that fans are excited about the game. That matters because it shows the change is coming directly from feedback on the multiplayer setup.
Based on the source provided, there are no further technical details about the same update. Nothing is said about other modes, balance changes, crossplay, new maps, or an exact patch version. There is also no confirmation that six players is final once the update goes live; the wording remains the developer’s expectation for now.
IGN’s description of the game as well received by critics adds launch context, but it does not provide any extra confirmation about the update itself. The only hard details in this report remain the current 3-player limit, the planned 6-player cap, and the stated window of the first few weeks after release.
