LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga Online Co-Op Guide

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has no official online co-op option, but players can still connect for multiplayer using workarounds. This guide covers how to play online with friends, focusing on PC and PlayStation, where these methods work. Xbox and Nintendo Switch users should expect limited access or none, as this approach does not apply to those platforms.

How to play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga online on PC

To start an online session on PC, both players need a Steam-equipped computer and one copy of the game. The following steps outline a cooperative game setup:

1. Launch LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
2. Open the in-game overlay with Shift+Tab.
3. Choose Invite everyone to the game under your profile name.
4. The Remote Play panel appears. Copy the link and send it to a friend, or use Add Guest to invite a Steam contact directly.

After these steps, the second player will see prompts to accept conditions before joining the shared session.

How to play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga online on PlayStation 4

Co-op on PlayStation 4 requires both players to have active PlayStation Plus memberships. To begin a co-op session, follow these steps:

1. Start the game and select the Share button.
2. In the window that opens, choose Start Share Play.
3. From the user list, pick a friend and click Invite to create a Party.
4. Click Invite again to extend the invitation.
5. The invited friend must accept by choosing Join on their screen.
6. The host should select Give controller to participant and then Play together.

Session duration is fixed at 60 minutes, and trophies earned during the session go to the session organizer.

How to play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga online on PlayStation 5

PlayStation 5 mirrors the PlayStation 4 setup with the same limitations for online co-op. To initiate a co-op session on PS5, follow these steps:

1. Launch the game.
2. Open Game Base by pressing the PS button.
3. Create a party and enable Join Voice Chat.
4. Tap the Start screen sharing icon.
5. Use the Screen Share tab to start Share Play and choose Play with a visitor.

A notification is sent to the friend’s console and must be accepted to join. Both players need an active PlayStation Plus subscription, the session lasts 60 minutes, and only the session organizer can receive trophies.
