Wow, I did not see this one coming given how I kept reading about how well the game was selling and how well it did critically.

Will happily give it a go though, was waiting for it to drop in price heavily so this will do very nicely.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

That's awesome!

 

[TLZ]

Whoa! Now THIS is news!

 

[adamsapple]

That's a pretty good get.

SX version runs at dynamic 4K 60 FPS in the performance mode as well.

 

[polka22]

This is the way.

 

[Pagusas]

So was the game a commercial failure?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Nice! No harm in giving it a try

 

[Ozriel]

So was the game a commercial failure?

Definitely not. Sold very well

 

[AJUMP23]

THIS IS AWESOME!

 

[Bragr]

Wow, I would have never expected this before the holidays. Xbox must have opened the wallet on this one.

 

[Chukhopops]

So was the game a commercial failure?

Really good choice for a Christmas game on GP, well done.

 

[adamsapple]

So was the game a commercial failure?

No, it broke records in the lego franchise

How Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s record-breaking sales show importance of perfect launch window

The hopes for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will have been high, given the gap to the previous game in the series.

Game is good.

 

[SportsFan581]

A great one for the family at the holidays. Do these still have the coop option?

Yep. Couch co-op is present in this one too.

 

[Hendrick's]

Had this in my cart to buy as it is half off right now. Glad I hesitated.

 

[Roufianos]

Good get, I found it dull as fuck though but I'm just a loser virgin who lives in his girlfriend's boyfriend's apartment, obviously not the target audience.

 

[K' Dash]

I was *this close* to buying it these past few days because of the sales, glad I didn't pull the trigger.

 

[fatmarco]

Great get for Gamepass. It's a genuine AAA Lego game, which is a bizarre experience.

I would say though that its not an improvement in every regard over the previous games. In particular, some of the older Lego Star Wars games definitely had better levels for the same scenes, but regardless you definitely admire the amount of effort and craft that went into it as a project.

It's also one of, if not the only Star Wars game where you can walk freely around Coruscant, Gungan City, Naboo and so on. Places you've never explored or even understood as physical spaces etc. So in that regard its a must play for anyone who cares about Star Wars.

 

[BadBurger]

I already own this on PS5, it's OK. Compared to the other Lego games I have played (Avengers or whatever, one of the Batman ones, and Lord of the Rings) it feels like they definitely poured more love and attention into this one while recreating the universe and worlds within it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I bought this when it released and had absolutely no regrets. A very charming game with a ton of replay value and lots of stuff to unlock. Easily the best Lego Star Wars game, yet!

If you have GP, definitely give it a whirl when it's available.

I'll just bump this as it's game pass related & it's not worth a new thread. (As I'm sure official announcement with confirmed titles will be available soon)

But 3 titles have been rumoured for this month's additions:

Stranded deep
Street fighter 30th anniversary
Diofield Chronicles

 

[SportsFan581]

Street fighter 30th anniversary Would be super cool.

 

[Gambit2483]

So was the game a commercial failure?

It sold amazingly on Switch and PS5.

If you ever were interested it's definitely worth your time.

 

[anthony2690]

Street fighter 30th anniversary Would be super cool.

I'm just thinking about the potential player boost third strike might get online
