STAR WARS: Galactic Racer launches with a full slate of 49 achievements (plus a PlayStation Platinum for console players), and not a single one is hidden. That means you can map out your completion run before you even hit the track. Some unlock naturally through campaign progression, but a solid chunk require deliberate effort, specific builds, or repeat playthroughs. Here's every trophy and achievement in the game, plus the key things worth knowing before you chase them.
How many trophies and achievements are in Star Wars: Galactic Racer?
There are 49 total achievements across all platforms. PlayStation players have one additional objective on top of that: the Galactic Champion Platinum trophy, which requires every other trophy to be collected first. No achievements are tied to online play, so full completion is entirely achievable without ever touching a multiplayer mode.
None of the entries are listed as secret, which is genuinely useful for completionists. You can see exactly what's coming and plan builds or playstyles around specific unlocks.

What's the hardest trophy to unlock?
Racer of Legend stands out as the clear endgame challenge. Defeating Kestar Bool in the Galactic League Championship is already a late-game milestone, but doing it on Champion difficulty is a different proposition entirely. Plan your build around this one early, because scrambling to hit Champion difficulty with a half-upgraded speeder is not a fun experience.
The Fastest Ever Built is another one that takes consistent effort. Getting 4 Legendary Parts installed at the same time requires either a lot of Scrap Dealer luck or deliberate resource management across multiple tours.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer Trophy List: All Achievements & Trophies
Which achievements unlock through normal progression?
A handful come automatically just from playing through the campaign. Getting Started, Impeding!, Qualified!, and Now This is Podracing! are all tied to story beats you'll hit regardless. Let's Build a Real Racer unlocks the first time you customize a vehicle, which happens almost immediately.
Don't ignore the Start Your Engines! achievement either. It requires completing 4 Pre-Race Checks, which is a mechanical step some players skip past if they're rushing into races.
How to unlock the Racer Style achievements
Three achievements are locked to specific Racer Styles, and you'll need to actively play into each one:
- Raging Rancor requires the Brawler style and 5 takedowns in a single Standard or Eliminator Race
- Speed and Violence requires the Tech Expert style and 5 Ion Bolt hits in a single race
- One Hell of a Thrill requires the Redliner style and staying above 550 kmh for 5 continuous seconds
Skill, Strategy, and the Will to Rise requires unlocking all Racer Styles, so you'll be working through these naturally on the path to full completion.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer Trophy List: All Achievements & Trophies
What's the fastest way to clean up Galactic Gauntlet trophies?
Three trophies require winning the Galactic Gauntlet under different conditions: once per Speeder type (I Can Fly Anything), once per Racer Style (Racing Master), and once per Favor (United by a Beautiful Dream). These are the most time-intensive achievements in the list outside of Racer of Legend, because they demand multiple full runs with deliberate loadout changes.
Plan these runs back-to-back where possible. Switching between Speeder types and Racer Styles across separate Gauntlet attempts is far more efficient than trying to juggle multiple objectives in a single run.
Sidebet and Rivalry achievements
Sidebets appear throughout the campaign and are worth prioritizing early. I'll Take That Bet requires 10 Sidebet wins total, while Beginner's Luck and Gathii vs Bool target specific opponents. The Bool sidebet in particular requires you to be deep enough into the campaign to face Kestar Bool directly.
Best of the Best asks you to beat every racer in a Rivalry Head-to-Head, which is a longer grind but entirely doable through normal campaign play if you're not skipping Rivalry matchups.
Backer rating achievements
Two trophies sit at opposite ends of the Backer rating scale. Star Racer needs an Excellent rating from a Backer, and Poodoo Racer intentionally needs a Poor rating. You'll want to grab Poodoo Racer during a run where the result doesn't matter, then focus on Pride of Gathleon, which requires an Excellent Tour rating from every Backer. That last one demands consistent top-tier performance across the full campaign.
For everything else going on in the game, the full STAR WARS: Galactic Racer strategy guides cover builds, campaign structure, and more. If you're still sorting out which edition to buy or what pre-order bonuses are available, the editions and pre-order bonuses breakdown has every price and perk laid out. And if you need to know exactly when the game goes live in your region, the release date and start times guide has you covered.
