Star Wars: Galactic Racer Launches Day One on Amazon Luna, Free for Prime Members
Star Wars racing is back, and Amazon Luna just made it a lot cheaper to join. Star Wars: Galactic Racer launched worldwide on October 6 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and it arrived on Amazon’s cloud service the very same day, a first for Luna. Prime members can play the full single-player campaign on Luna at no additional cost, with no console and no download required.
Developed by Fuse Games, a studio founded by veterans of the Burnout and Need for Speed franchises, and published by Secret Mode, Galactic Racer is the first Star Wars racing game in more than twenty years. It drops players into the Galactic League, an unsanctioned underground circuit running in the early New Republic era, as the galaxy rebuilds after the fall of the Empire. League founder Darius Pax built the series chasing a new golden age of racing, and the entry list runs from podracers and speeder bikes to landspeeders and skim speeders.
On Luna, players get the Campaign, Arcade and Scenario modes from day one. The campaign follows Shade’s run through the Galactic League, with branching tours, vehicle upgrades and a runs-based progression system, and it introduces podracing through Sebulba, the dug whose shadow still hangs over the sport. But the Luna move is the headline: Amazon’s head of gaming, Jeff Gattis, said Luna players deserve to be in the action from day one, and Galactic Racer is the first major release to actually deliver that. For Prime members who were on the fence, the fence just disappeared.

Seven million wishlists is a very Bond number, and IO Interactive is celebrating it the right way: with a dog. The studio announced on October 7 that 007 First Light has surpassed 7 million wishlists across all platforms, and the milestone unlocks Jack the Bulldog as a companion in the game’s TacSim lobby for every player.
Jack is deep-cut Bond history. The bulldog first appeared as a statue on M’s desk in Skyfall in 2012, survived the explosion that destroyed her office with a cracked face and a charred Union Jack, and returned in Spectre and No Time To Die. In First Light he is alive, described by IO as gruff on the outside but endlessly good-natured, a fixture around MI6 that Bond himself has grown fond of between assignments. And yes, the studio confirms the only detail that matters: you can pet him.
The milestone arrives alongside the free Extended Operations update, available now. It adds New Game+, letting players replay the campaign with their unlocked outfits and gadgets, a new 007 difficulty mode, a full Photo Mode and refined weapon handling. TacSim also grows, with the Valhalla Protocol missions built around the Aston Martin Valhalla and a new mission set at The Pearl in Vietnam.
007 First Light is IO Interactive’s original Bond origin story, developed with Amazon MGM Studios, and it is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and it is currently on sale with a 30 percent discount on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is due in March 2027.
Seven million people asked for this game. Every one of them can now stop by TacSim and give Jack a pat before the next mission.
