You may start feeling lonely as you explore the 24 planets in the game, making you wonder whether you can go through all the adventures in the game with a friend. While you can enjoy the game in a couch co-op setup, you’ll need help from third-party software for an online multiplayer experience.

Despite featuring a great gameplay experience, most Lego games lack multiplayer compatibility, making local co-op the only option if you’re looking to play with your friends.

The couch co-op way

If the second player is sitting right beside you, you’ll need to do the following to play multiplayer in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

  • Launch Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
  • Connect a second controller and turn it ion
  • Press any button on the second controller, and you should be able to continue your journey in co-op mode

The online multiplayer way

With Lego games missing online features, players won’t be able to invite their friends to a session as they’d normally do in games like Fortnite or League of Legends.

There are alternatives, however, and third-party tools like Parsec allows players to host sessions and invite others to join them. Both parties will need to run the same program and here’s how you can create a lobby.

  • Install Parsec
  • Launch Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
  • Open the Parsec app and choose Arcade
  • Start Hosting Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
  • After hosting a session, you can invite your friends
    • If you don’t want anyone else to join your session, you’ll need to make your session private
