The NPD Group’s video game industry advisor Mat Piscatella has revealed that Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was the best-selling game in the U.S. in April 2022, in addition to being the second best-selling game so far in 2022, just behind Elden Ring. The action-adventure game is the sixth installment in the franchise of Lego games, and it’s the best one so far.
Successor to 2016’s Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was released on 5 April 2022, and in just over a month, it has overtaken all the other Lego games in terms of sales and has become the best selling game of the Lego franchise. The game is a must-buy for Star Wars fans, as it adapts all nine entries in the Skywalker Saga series of films, alongside additional characters based on other Star Wars films and television series, which are released as DLC.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the Second-Best Selling Game in 2022
The game seems to be full of accolades and firsts, as The Skywalker Saga is also the first third-party game on Nintendo Switch in a year to rank as a best-seller on its platforms. This comes after Monster Hunter Rise all the way back in March 2021. For the month of April this year, The Skywalker Saga has been the top-selling game across the platforms of Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.
With all the content in the game, it’s no wonder that it has been a fan favorite since its release. There are over 300 unlockable characters in the game, and collecting them is a task itself for the hardcore players who take up the challenge to finish the game in its entirety. There are numerous puzzles waiting to be solved, the chance to go back and get more items during the free play mode of the game if you’ve missed any, and DLCs to keep you engrossed for hours after you’ve finished the base game.
There’s a long adventure awaiting you in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga that will keep you busy for months if you’re up for the challenge.
