LEGO Star Wars™: The Skywalker Saga - DLC Trailer

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the most recent of the Lego games and does a lot to expand on and shake up the timeless formula seen in its past installments. It’s also thrown in DLC additions to make the brick-filled galaxy far far away larger than ever.

The new DLC comes in two separate packs by the names of “The Mandalorian Season 2 Character Pack” and “The Bad Batch Character Pack.” Each pack costs $3 or you can get them and the rest of the offered DLC through the season pass, which is going for $16. Those that purchase the deluxe edition of the game already have each character pack, so no further purchases are needed to enjoy the new additions.

You can't talk about the best Switch games without at least one Lego game coming up. These games have adapted all of the major franchises, from superheroes to fantasy characters, into some of the most enjoyable games for kids and adults. Or, better yet, play them together since nearly all of them are best played in local multiplayer. At this point in the Switch's lifecycle, there are over a dozen Lego games out there to pick from. While you could always go with whichever one is based on your favorite franchise, there are a few others not based on a license that are just as good. These are our picks for the best Lego games on the Switch that mix in both license properties and original IPs.

If you do plan on playing these with a friend or family member, make sure you have a spare controller ready.
