After a long old wait, the force is finally coming to our consoles again in the brand new LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga – and after the lengthy delay it would be fair to say that the release date can’t come quickly enough,
The time is almost here though as the game, that will pack in stories from all nine of the Skywalker Star Wars movies, is here next week and early indications are that it could end up being one of the best games to come out of the LEGO franchise to date.
But with any good game comes the option to break the rules (Han Solo will be proud), and this game is no different with cheat codes active to take advantage of – and more are likely on the way too.
So without further ado, here is how you can cheat in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga with the codes that we know of so far – and how to redeem them!
How to use a cheat code in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Happily, inputting a cheat code is as easy as it comes. Just hit pause while you are playing the game and make your way over to the Extras menu. Once there, select the Input Code button and then type in the code – job done! Whichever item/character you just claimed will make a fine addition to your collection.
Full list of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga cheat codes
The following cheat codes are available in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at launch, and we can confirm that they work. Vader in his Christmas jumper is particularly brilliant.
- SIDIOUS – Emperor Palpatine
- LIFEDAY – Christmas GONK Droid
- SHUTTLE – Galaxy’s Edge Transport Ship
- ARVALA7 – Razor Crest Mandalorian Ship
- WROSHYR – Darth Vader Christmas Jumper
As mentioned, this will not be the end of the road for cheat codes, it would be a very small road if it were, and a lot more are expected to start emerging once the game is released. As soon as he hear what the extra codes are, and what you can do with them, we will get them added right here so you have them all in the same place.
