Star Wars Galactic Racer vs Star Wars: Squadrons
These are different games that happen to share the Star Wars name. Galactic Racer is a PS5-only arcade racing adventure set after the Empire's fall, with a single-player focus and light online play. Squadrons is a 2020 starfighter combat sim from EA Motive with a full campaign, 5v5 online dogfights and VR support. Buy Galactic Racer if you want a new PS5 racer; buy Squadrons if you want cockpit space combat, especially in VR. Reviewers rate Galactic Racer slightly higher, but it has far fewer ratings, and Squadrons is the more proven, deeper game.
- Choose the Galactic Racer if you own a PS5 and want a story-driven arcade racer built around repulsorcraft and the Star Wars underworld.
- Choose Squadrons if you want a starfighter flight sim with a campaign, team dogfights and VR support, and you own a supported platform.
