Just one day after launch, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has decimated the Steam records for any Lego game on the platform. With a current peak of 82,517, it has blown past the previous record held by Lego Marvel Super Heroes. Lego Marvel Super Heroes featured a peak user count of just 5,953.

The game has over 2,900 reviews on the platform and is currently listed as “Very Positive.” The game has two versions on sale, with one containing all the available DLC. However, its DLC collections of characters for the game are inexpensive, at $2.99 per collection.
More than 300 characters, good and evil, across the Star Wars franchise are playable in The Skywalker Saga, including fan favorites like R2-D2. All nine Star Wars movies are in one place, with vehicles to pilot and iconic moments to recreate.
