LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga release date

Original (4/11): The latest UK software sales are in, and there’s good news for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

The new game is actually the second-biggest boxed launch of the year. Only Pokemon Legends: Arceus has done better. As a result, the title sold more physical copies upon release than other heavy hitters like Elden Ring and Gran Turismo 7. However, one aspect to keep in mind is that LEGO Star Wars dropped on a Tuesday rather than a Friday, resulting in extra time for sales.
