Star Wars Galactic Racer Trophies: List & Platinum Guide
Star Wars Galactic Racer trophies and achievements: all 50 unlocks grouped by task, the 70–100 hour platinum estimate and the four toughest requirements.
Editorial update · Source publication dates are listed below · Independent fan guide
Star Wars Galactic Racer has 50 trophies on PS5, none of them online, missable or glitched. PowerPyx’s roadmap estimates 70 to 100 hours for the platinum and rates it 8 out of 10 for difficulty. The developer FAQ confirms the same progress is tracked as trophies on PlayStation and achievements on Xbox and Steam. Story trophy names below contain light spoilers.
Platinum at a glance
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How many trophies? | 50: 1 Platinum, 1 Gold, 10 Silver and 38 Bronze, per PowerPyx |
| Any online trophies? | No |
| Any missable or glitched? | None reported |
| Estimated time | 70–100 hours, highly dependent on skill |
| Estimated difficulty | 8/10 |
| Playthroughs | One full campaign, a Champion clear of Act 3, and at least 14 Galactic Gauntlet wins |
Because nothing is missable, you can play the campaign normally and clean up afterwards.
A four-step route
PowerPyx’s October 6 roadmap splits the platinum into four stages:
- Finish the campaign on any difficulty (about 10 hours). The campaign has three acts: The Qualifier, The Galactic League and Kestar’s Galactic League.
- Clear Act 3 on Champion difficulty (about 5 hours). Champion unlocks after one full completion.
- Campaign clean-up (40–60 hours). Unlock every Favor and Racer Style, win the Galactic Gauntlet with each of them and with all three vehicles, finish the Tales of Podracing events and beat every Rival.
- Arcade gold medals (15–30 hours). Earn Gold in all 50 Arcade time trials.
Permanent Tuning Points carry over between attempts, so the clean-up gets easier as your speeders level up. The upgrades guide covers where to spend them.
The four toughest trophies
Big Mystery Racer asks for Gold in all 50 Arcade time trials. PowerPyx calls it the hardest trophy in the list; some medal times are strict and some are lenient.
Racing Master needs a Galactic Gauntlet win with each of the 14 Racer Styles. Only one Style can be active per win, so this alone is 14 victories. The Gauntlet is a three-part Eliminator on Derven Acos near the end of Acts 2 and 3.
United by a Beautiful Dream needs a Gauntlet win with all 20 Favors, which overlaps with the Style wins if you plan your loadouts.
Racer of Legend requires beating Kestar Bool in the Championship on Champion difficulty, where crash allowances are tighter.

Do Deluxe Edition events count?
The Deluxe Edition adds three extra Arcade events. PowerPyx’s guide lists 50 base time trials for Big Mystery Racer and says it is unclear whether the three Deluxe events count toward it. If you own the standard edition, nothing in the published list requires the upgrade. The Deluxe Edition guide covers what it includes.
Where to start
Play the campaign with the beginner tips in mind, pick up the simple driving trophies as they come, and leave the Gauntlet and Arcade grinds until your main speeder is at Level 15.
