Star Racer is a 2025 racing video game developed by Whatnot Games. It was released onto Steam Early Access in March of 2024, and received a full release in July of 2025.[2]
Development
Whatnot announced the game on November 29, 2023, with a Kickstarter project launched to help fund it. Grant Kirkhope had been announced as the game's composer.[1] Some of the game's artistic inspiration came from 1990's animated shows and comics series like SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, Biker Mice from Mars, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Online play running well was a challenge during development as the framerate would decrease due to the high speed of the race.[4]
An official reveal trailer was released on November 30, 2023.[5] An early access trailer was released on January 25, 2024, with an announcement that it'll be heading to Steam Early Access on March 8, 2024, with a new demo on February 2, 2024.[6]
