Star Racer Launches on Steam with Explosive 1.0 Update

Retro-Fueled Mayhem

Rev those engines and buckle up—Star Racer is officially out of Early Access and racing full-speed into its 1.0 launch. Available now on PC via Steam, this neon-soaked combat racer blends retro flair with futuristic fury, offering players a wild ride through the cosmos where victory is earned through skill, speed, and a little bit of firepower.

After months of community testing and feature tuning, the launch version of Star Racer brings a turbo-charged dose of new content. Racers can dive into four full Grand Prix Cups, each packed with high-speed twists, cosmic hazards, and rival racers just waiting to be turned into stardust. With each track demanding a different strategy, picking the right vehicle and driver combo could be the difference between taking the crown—or crashing out in a blaze of pixelated glory.

Beyond the Finish Line

Star Racer 1.0 isn’t just about new tracks. The game’s Event Races inject even more chaos, throwing in rotating rule sets, environmental hazards, and out-of-nowhere objectives. Whether you’re dodging lava flows, breaking targets mid-race, or teeing off in a surreal game of intergalactic golf, these events keep every race unpredictable—and brutally fun.

If you’ve conquered every cup and event, the Track Editor offers unlimited replayability. Design your own wild circuits, drop in death-defying jumps or perfectly timed boost pads, and challenge friends to survive your creative madness. With Steam Workshop integration, players can now upload, browse, and download custom tracks from across the community.
