MULTIPLAYER / PVP / COMPETITION

Race the galaxy online

Online racing adds unpredictable opponents and two major Tour structures. Learn what you can choose, how each class handles in traffic, what to unlock, and how to avoid throwing away a podium in the final corner.

Multiplayer modes / What is available

Two different Tour experiences

Multiplayer Tour

The mixed-class Tour uses landspeeders, speeder bikes and skim speeders. The published database lists a twelve-racer grid and six stages. Starting on Jakku, later stages draw from multiple named tracks with conditions such as mined routes and weather.

Choose a pilot whose craft and style fit how you race. Shade offers three different speeder types while many established rivals race a signature class.

Podracer Tour

Podracer races use a specialized roster and track set rather than the normal mixed-class vehicles. Airbrake planning and memorizing braking points become central.

Practice Tatooine's Mos Espa route and any other pod-specific variants in Arcade before expecting a clean podium in multiplayer.

Real race decisions / Winning more often

A five-part PvP game plan

  1. Before queueing: verify your preferred character, unlocked class, ability and assist settings. Use only platform-provided matchmaking and party controls.
  2. Opening: escape traffic without an unnecessary crash or shunt. A temporary lead is worth less than a clean entry into the first corner.
  3. Middle: slipstream on safe straights but do not tailgate into a blind wall or mine.
  4. Hazards: track direction and mined settings can change. Use the next route marker instead of copying a memory of a forward version.
  5. Closing: use stored abilities to pass or defend on a verified safe segment. Avoid trading first place for a high-risk collision.

Ary Quill / Nik Skandaro

Landspeeder-oriented opponents; practice blocking cleanly and exploiting stable exits.

Biddy Blas / Katja Mox / Sen Fira

Speeder-bike-associated pilots; expect acceleration attacks and tight passing opportunities.

Fola Kanjen / Lyren Shok / Griff Halloran

Skim-speeder-associated opponents; be ready for Knife Edge turns and sudden banking lines.

Unlocks and cosmetics / Leveling

What your time online earns

Multiplayer has separate racer and customization unlocks. The database tracks player insignias, backgrounds, vehicle kits and cosmetic body parts. For each visible reward, use the in-game unlock statement and distinguish purchase with Kit Points from a performance feat. We do not list prices or unlock levels unless source-verified.

The main mixed Tour roster is drawn from the standard speeder League. If a named competitor is not selectable, check the in-game logbook and unlock conditions before assuming your account has lost progress.
