Two 2026 Star Wars games, Zero Company and Galactic Racer, have become the franchise’s highest-rated releases in more than 20 years, and neither centres on Jedi.
01Summary
- 01Star Wars Zero Company launched in August 2026 and scored 86 on Metacritic.
- 02Star Wars: Galactic Racer followed in 2026 with a Metacritic score of 88.
- 03The two games are the highest-rated Star Wars releases since Knights of the Old Republic in 2003.
- 04Zero Company was co-developed by Bit Reactor and Respawn, while Galactic Racer was made by Fuse Games.
02Why it matters
The scores suggest Star Wars can succeed well beyond Jedi-led action games, which may shape future releases in the franchise. They also show that dormant genres such as tactical strategy and arcade racing can still find a wider audience when paired with a strong licence.
