Reddit user MODman01 recently posted an image of their laptop and second monitor running LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at the same time. The fan stated that the game can run in split-screen mode on their gaming laptop which lets the game operate on both screens simultaneously. MODman01 has confirmed that as it stands now, this allows them to explore co-op LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as Player 1 on one screen and as Player 2 on the other, opening up more gameplay opportunities.

While MODman01’s image showing the co-op potential of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has the player in the city of Naboo from The Phantom Menace, LEGO Star Wars fans can experience any of the three trilogies using this trick. Depending on their PC setup, MODman01 has stated that this co-op tool will work using a TV as the second monitor which creates further potential co-op setups for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga fans. Because players on a console can already play local co-op with relative ease, only PC players will have to make such adjustments to share the experience.
Going beyond their Reddit post, MODman01 also created a YouTube video showing how to replicate the same co-op technique. The video begins by showing that one character and screen are tied to a black DualSense controller and the other, a white DualSense gamepad. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga fans on PC will have to adjust a text document in the game’s folder to get the game to properly run in split-screen, they will also need one copy of the game in addition to a second controller and screen for Player 2.
Although MODman01 showed LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga running split-screen properly, their video did highlight some problems where the display is temporarily half on one screen and half on the other. While MODman01 was able to prove that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga players can run the game on PC in this way, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games may update it in the future to prevent others from replicating the unique split-screen method. Because the display is occasionally split down the middle, it’s currently unclear which segments of the game, if any, are impeded by playing LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in split-screen versus on just one monitor.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
