The latest Star Wars game has just been released, and it puts you behind the handlebars of a pod racer. Interestingly, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a day-one release for Amazon Luna, allowing subscribers to play the game for free.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is out now and available on all platforms except the Nintendo Switch. If you’ve already bought the game on any of the other platforms, then this might not be of importance to you, but if you haven’t or don’t own any consoles, you can still enjoy part of the game for free. It has launched on one more platform that millions of people have access to, Amazon Luna.

Those who pay for Amazon Prime are already subscribed to the free tier of Luna, Amazon’s cloud gaming service. While the collection of available games has not been very exciting, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a day-one release. This means anyone with an Amazon Prime subscription and any device such as a PC, Mac, smartphone, Chromebook, a Fire TV device, or select TVs can play the game right now.

This is included in the base tier, so you may have to wait in a queue. And you're limited to 1080p 60 FPS.

Of course, there has to be a catch, and Luna only has the single-player campaign of the game. This means you can finish the story of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, but you will not be able to take those skills to multiplayer. The single-player campaign is about six to 12 hours long depending on how deep you dive into it. To enjoy multiplayer, you can purchase the game for $60 on your platform of choice.

If you’re not interested in multiplayer anyway, this is great news as you’re probably already subscribed to Amazon Prime. Now this is podracing!
