Ways to play
Game modes: choose your next race
A three-act campaign, Arcade events, Scenarios and online speeder or podracer competitions.
Campaign: build a Tour towards the finale
Play as Shade through three acts: The Qualifier, The Galactic League and Kestar’s Galactic League. Between races, choose rewards, buy equipment and adapt your vehicle. Each act expands the risks and decisions; reaching its finale with a working setup matters as much as raw pace.
Sebulba awaits at the end of Act I; his Tales of Podracing appear from Act II. In Act III, Shade receives a podracer for dedicated challenges and the finale. Podracing events complement the speeder campaign.
Arcade: improve a time without risking an act
Arcade events let you repeat challenges and chase medals. Focus on starts, cornering and consistency without managing an entire Tour. Pick an event and improve one thing per attempt: a corner entry, a jump or Ramjet management.
You can play offline; connected time comparisons require internet access. Its leaderboard compares friends’ times rather than serving as a public global ranking.
Scenarios: learn a different combination
Here the racer, vehicle, style and difficulty are preset. This is not a race editor or an unrestricted garage: the challenge is to understand the supplied combination and drive to its strengths.
Before starting, read the assigned vehicle, Racer Style and available abilities. If you normally rely on Vent and it is absent here, change where you cool the vehicle; prepare for that difference before racing.
Online: a quick race or a full Tour
Quick Race and Multiplayer Tour support up to 12 speeder racers; Quick Podrace and Podracer Tour support up to 8 podracers. Pick a quick race for a short session. A Tour adds between-race decisions and a finale that rewards resource management.
Crossplay connects PC and consoles. Online modes need an internet connection and split-screen is not supported. A race’s participant cap is different from the size of the friend party allowed by the menu.
