Developed by ex-Criterion developers who worked on Burnout and DICE's Star Wars Battlefront games, the game combines elements of racing, takedowns, and character development. Set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, players can explore a world of rival crews, crime syndicates, and landspeeders, speeder bikes, and skim speeders across planets with unique biomes. The gameplay offers a variety of racing modes, including multiplayer and campaign, with takedowns serving as a secondary aspect to the actual racing. Players can customize their racers, abilities, and parts, earning upgrades and rewards as they progress through the game.",
