Star Wars: Galactic Racer: How to Find and Equip Preorder Bonus Items

Preordering Star Wars: Galactic Racer unlocks a set of cosmetics for your vehicle and multiplayer profile. They give no racing advantage, and because none of them carry an obvious name in the menus, they are easy to walk right past. Here is exactly where they live and how to put them on.

Quick answer: Open the vehicle Customization menu and pick the second default livery under Edit Livery for the car paint. For your profile, go to Multiplayer, then Customize, then Customize Player Banner, and scroll to the bottom of both the Background and Insignia tabs.

What the preorder unlocks

Every preorder, regardless of edition, grants three cosmetic items. They are purely visual and do not touch your vehicle stats or abilities.

An extra paint scheme for your repulsorcraft, compatible with the Landspeeder, Skim Speeder, and Speeder Bike.
A player banner for multiplayer modes.
A player icon for multiplayer modes.

The livery and banner carry a color tied to the platform you bought the game on.

Platform	Preorder color
PlayStation	Blue
Xbox	Green
PC	Orange / red

Equip the preorder livery

Go to vehicle customization. In single-player, choose your vehicle at the start of a tour, then press Square on PlayStation or X on Xbox to open the Customization menu. You can access customization in multiplayer as well.

Select Edit Livery. Two liveries are unlocked by default. The preorder one is the design with a solid block line down the left side and a thinner line in a contrasting color on the right. Pick that entry from the row at the bottom of the screen.

Open the Color menu. Here you can apply the color scheme matching your platform, using the chart above.

Equip the player banner and icon

From the main menu, go to Multiplayer, then Customize, then Customize Player Banner.

On the first screen, titled Background, scroll all the way to the bottom. The unlocked preorder background sits at the end of the list. You will know it is correct because the right-hand side reads Pre-order Star Wars: Galactic Racer beneath the Unlocked label.

Switch to the Insignia tab and scroll to the bottom again. Pick the icon there to layer it over your background and finish the look.

Because none of these items are named in the UI, the fastest way to find each one is simply to jump to the very end of each list, where the preorder entries are placed.

Deluxe Edition extras

If you own the Deluxe Edition, its cosmetic items show up in these same livery and banner menus alongside the preorder set. The edition also includes a vehicle model, which is not found with the cosmetics. Open the vehicle customization menu and use the Choose Model option to select it.

These options are purely visual. Your livery, banner, icon, or Deluxe model affects your appearance on the track and in lobbies, but grants no stat increases or abilities.
