Star Wars Galactic Racer Restart Guide: How to Begin Again

Updated 2026-06-24

Why Consider a Restart in Star Wars Galactic Racer?

Deciding to restart your journey in Star Wars Galactic Racer can be a strategic move. Whether you want to correct early mistakes, try a different pilot, or achieve a higher score on the leaderboards, a fresh start offers many benefits. This guide covers the best reasons to restart and how to do it effectively.

Many players find that their first playthrough is a learning experience. Understanding the game's mechanics, upgrade paths, and track layouts often leads to the desire for a clean slate. A restart allows you to apply that knowledge from the very first race.

Before you restart, consider if you have any rare collectibles or limited-time event rewards. These may be permanently lost if they are not tied to your account.

How to Restart Your Game Progress

The process for restarting in Star Wars Galactic Racer is straightforward. Follow these steps to wipe your current save data and begin a new game.

  1. Access the Main Menu

    From the race screen, press the Options or Start button to return to the main menu. Navigate to the 'Settings' or 'Options' tab.

  2. Find the Save Data Option

    Look for a section labeled 'Save Data,' 'Game Data,' or 'Profile Management.' The exact name may vary depending on your platform.

  3. Select Delete Save Data

    Choose the option to delete your current save file. The game will ask for confirmation. Confirm your choice to erase all local progress.

  4. Start a New Game

    Once the data is deleted, return to the main menu and select 'New Game' or 'Start.' You will be prompted to create a new profile.

Deleting your save data is permanent. There is no way to recover a deleted save file in Star Wars Galactic Racer. Make sure you are certain before proceeding.

What Carries Over After a Restart?

Not everything is lost when you restart. Some progression elements are tied to your account or the game's overall system. Understanding what persists can help you decide if a restart is worth it.

  • Account-Bound Rewards: Any rewards earned from special events or promotional codes are often linked to your account. These may be available again after restarting.
  • Leaderboard Scores: Your best times and scores on global leaderboards may remain. However, your local history will be cleared.
  • Unlockable Pilots: Pilots unlocked through real-money purchases or special editions are usually tied to your platform account, not your save file.

Items Lost on Restart

All in-game currency, upgrade parts, and completed race progress will be reset. You will start with the default ship and no credits.

Items Kept on Restart

Account-bound cosmetics, DLC content, and certain promotional rewards often remain available. Check the game's official FAQ for specifics.

Restarting vs. New Game Plus

Star Wars Galactic Racer features a New Game Plus mode for players who want a challenge without losing everything. This mode is unlocked after completing the main campaign. It allows you to keep your upgrades and credits while facing tougher opponents.

If your goal is simply to replay the story with your current gear, New Game Plus is the better option. A full restart is only recommended if you want to experience the game from scratch or fix a broken progression path.

  • Consider New Game Plus if you want to keep upgrades
  • Only restart if you want a completely clean save
  • Back up any screenshots or replays before deleting data

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I restart without losing my DLC content? Yes, DLC content is typically tied to your platform account. After restarting, you can re-download or access it from the in-game store.

Will restarting affect my online multiplayer rank? Your multiplayer rank is usually stored on the game's servers. A local save deletion should not impact your online ranking.

How long does it take to get back to where I was? With the knowledge you gained from your first playthrough, you can often complete the main campaign much faster. Expect to save 30% to 50% of the time compared to your initial run.
