News It’s got podracers crashing like it’s Burnout. Fuse Games Star Wars: Galactic Racer has a lot going for it. Alongside the built-in fanbase of the sci-fi epic/ IP juggernaut, developer Fuse Games includes people who gave us Need for Speed and Burnout, the latter being my favorite racing franchise ever.
