LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga lets Star Wars fans experience all nine of the iconic mainline films in the LEGO format for the very first time. Right when players turn the game on for the first time, they will have the option to start from either Episode 1, Episode 4, or Episode 7. No matter which episode players decide to start with, they're bound to have a good time. But for those interested in following the story in chronological order, it might be best to start with the original trilogy, then move to the prequel trilogy, and then wrap up with the trilogy sequels with Rey and Finn.
The game's tutorial will teach players what they need to know once they start playing, but one of the things players might miss is how to save their game progress. This guide will go over how to save in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
How to Save in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
For the players out there scouring through LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's menus, looking for a way to save their progress manually, might be disappointed to hear that that is not possible in this game. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga auto-saves player progress during different key moments, and players will know the game is saving when there are spinning lightsabers in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
As for the exact moments that LEGO Star Wars auto-saves, there are a few to keep in mind:
- Traveling to a different region or planet will trigger an auto-save.
- Completing one of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's main missions will trigger a save.
- Finding one of the many collectibles in a level, such as the Minikits, will also trigger a save. This comes in handy when players are going through a level just to find some missed collectibles. They won't need to complete the entire level for the found collectibles to be saved.
Doing any of these things while playing a level will ensure that players don't lose their precious gameplay progress. Luckily, players will notice those spinning lightsabers more often than not, so there's not much to worry about. Just make sure not to turn off the Switch or close the application if the game is saving --doing things like that can sometimes cause the save data to get corrupted.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
