LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga: How to Increase FPS and Boost Performance

It’s quite common for PC games, especially ones that have just been released, to encounter performance-related issues within the first few weeks. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is not an exception. Despite not graphically demanding, the game actually suffers from performance issues across all systems, regardless of the specs.

While these issues can be ironed out with several performance patches and fixes, they can be quite annoying, especially for fans of Star Wars. Luckily, there are a few fixes you can apply in the meantime to boost the game’s overall performance on your PC and increase its FPS, all while preventing the occurrence of crashes at the same time.

How to Increase FPS and Boost Performance in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Before you even play or purchase the game, you have to make sure your PC can run it in the first place. You’d want to aim for the Recommended specs which is an Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 780 or Radeon R9 290 GPU.

However, this doesn’t mean you’ll be free from performance issues, as beefier systems can still experience them. For that, you want to apply the following methods:

Update Your Graphics Drivers

First and foremost, you want to make sure that your graphics drivers are up-to-date. NVIDIA and AMD normally roll out new driver updates to fix and improve performance across a wide range of games.

To start, you can either open GeForce Experience if you have an NVIDIA GPU or visit AMD’s website if you have an AMD GPU.

Change the Video Options In-Game

PC games will normally auto-detect your system to pick the highest possible settings to run on. If you haven’t tinkered with the game’s in-game settings yet, then it’s likely that they’re set to the maximum settings by default.

To change this, simply open up the Menu, head to Video Options, and follow the recommended settings below:

You can of course lower these settings based on your PC’s specs. If you’re still experiencing low FPS and performance issues after applying these settings, simply adjust them to the lowest settings possible until you see noticeable improvements.
