Co-op in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga refers to a local cooperative gameplay mode. This means you can team up with a friend on the same screen to play through the game together. It’s a great way to experience the Lego Star Wars adventure with someone else, working together to explore, fight enemies, and complete missions from all the Star Wars episodes included in the game.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features local co-op gameplay, but not online co-op. Here’s how to play with a friend on the same screen:
Requirements:
- Two controllers connected to your gaming system (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC)
Steps:
Start the game: Launch Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Have the second player press Start: While the first player has already started the game, the second player needs to press the Start button (or equivalent) on their controller.
Split-screen activates: The game screen will automatically split into a two-player view. Player one controls the action on the left side of the screen, and player two controls the action on the right side.
Play together!: You can now work together to explore, fight enemies, and complete missions throughout the Star Wars story.
Here are some additional points to keep in mind:
- Both players can drop in and out of the game at any time. The remaining player will take full control of the screen. To rejoin, the other player simply needs to press Start again on their controller.
- There’s no friendly fire, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally hurting your co-op partner.
- The co-op experience extends to all the Star Wars episodes included in the game.
While Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga doesn’t offer online co-op functionality, local co-op provides a fun way to experience the Lego Star Wars adventure with a friend on the same couch.
