LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Will Be Missing Some Next-Gen Features at Launch

It turns out that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will release lacking a few next-generation features. As the Official PlayStation Magazine notes, the newest entry in the LEGO Star Wars series will not utilize certain options on PlayStation 5.

The LEGO video games are known for combining classic stories with a blocky, plastic charm. One of the most famous of these crossovers is the LEGO Star Wars series, which took players through the original six movies. Now it is getting a reboot to fit in the sequel trilogy, but coming at a cost. Sony touts multiple features unique to PlayStation 5 to set it apart from competitors. However, it does not seem like every developer is on board yet.

During launch, critics pointed to the PlayStation 5’s controller, the DualSense, as one of most next-gen aspects. That is because the DualSense generates haptic feedback that aims to simulate all kinds of gaming situations. From moving through sand, shooting an assault rifle, or simply walking through rain, haptic feedback can immerse players further. Despite the popularity, this is one of the features that will be missing from LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga when it releases.

The other two options that fans will be missing out on are ray-tracing visuals and 3D audio. In essence, the PlayStation 5 games that best use ray-tracing create more realistic lighting in the game. For instance, images in mirrors or puddles will be accurate to the actual reflection. 3D audio is another way of immersing players by allowing sounds to occur as if happening around the player. While these features are key to enveloping gamers in the experience, it sounds like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be taking a pass.

News around the game is looking mostly positive so far. Unlike the previous games, it is including all 9 main Star Wars films and going for an open-world format. A recent announcement also alludes to 300 playable characters, a significant undertaking. It is unfortunate that the PlayStation 5 version will already be missing out on some features. Part of the justification for the console was its ability to create an immersive atmosphere through haptic feedback and 3D audio.

On the flip side, many fans planning on grabbing the newest title will likely not miss the options too much. All three are mainly surface level features meant to enhance the game. If the title provides a high quality universe to explore, the lack of next-gen features probably will not matter. Some open-world games release full of game-breaking bugs or shallow content, a far more troublesome issue. Nevertheless, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga should be a humorous way to experience the famous movie series.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
