LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the latest installment in the long-running LEGO series of games from Warner Bros. Interactive and Traveller's Tales. It pushes the series in some new directions while retaining important features like having a large roster of playable characters to choose from, near-endless collectibles to find, and local co-op support.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga uses a new viewing angle than previous games in the series, which means that the days of same-screen LEGO co-op are over. Instead of same-screen co-op, the entire LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga co-op experience is played in split-screen, which isn't a bad change. The problems arise with the performance of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga when playing in co-op, as the co-op experience is poorly optimized, resulting in all kinds of technical issues and headaches.

When playing LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in co-op, fans can count on the game crashing at regular intervals, at least as it pertains to the Xbox Series X version. When playing the game in co-op for a few hours, it's highly likely that it will crash at least two to three times within that period of time. Other glitches arise as well that may not cause crashes in and of themselves, but still require players to restart the game if they hope to proceed normally.

Most of the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga co-op crashes seem to be random, but there is one character that can cause the game to crash
