Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches today, and despite registering the best review scores for a Star Wars game since Knights of the Old Republic, fans are concerned about its multiplayer limitations. Good news on that front - Secret Mode and Fuse Games have already addressed those worries and detailed what’s coming in an upcoming update.

The limitations on Galactic Racer’s Multiplayer and Podracing Tours mean that, even though lobbies for the former support 12 players, and eight for the latter, you can only party up with two of your friends. Not only does that mean no private or custom lobbies, but it also means a maximum of three of you racing against strangers, even if you don’t want to.

The Galactic Racer devs have heard the pre-launch complaints that have arisen from fans seeing footage from the new Star Wars game's reviews and confirmed how it plans to make the playing experience better for those who want to play in parties of more than three. “We're working on an update to expand the party size from three players to six players, which we're aiming to release within the first few weeks of launch,” is the reply the game’s official account has been sharing with those expressing their concerns on Twitter.

While that’s good news and means more of you will be able to jump into tours together very soon, that’s only part of the issue. However, in an extended update posted on the Galactic Racer Discord, the team at Fuse has clarified that, even though there aren’t plans for custom lobbies in the immediate future, today’s launch is only the beginning of what Galactic Racer will eventually become.
