One of the best games of the year seems to be doing pretty well. I am, of course, talking about Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and according to the developers and publishers it has hit 1.5 million players.
Now, it’s important to note that they don’t say 1.5 million sales, as they’re doing that annoying thing where they hide that stat. In this case, it’s because the game’s singleplayer, arcade levels and scenarios have been available to stream as part of Amazon Luna since launch. Weirdly, you can’t play the multiplayer as part of Luna.
Alongside the announcement, they also stated they “can’t wait to share more about the future of STAR WARS: Galactic Racer with you.”
The fact that has a future greatly pleases me. As good as I found the game to be and how much fun other people have been having with it, I wasn’t sure if it would find a big enough audience to get itself a sequel, DLC or future updates. But it seems like something is in the works.
The announcement also featured Biddy Blas, yet another small character in a Star Wars game that has somehow become a celebrity. The little shortarse has become a firm favourite, along with his catchphrase: Scrib doon! Who knew the little menace would become the breakout star?
