A Big Adventure Multiplayer Will Be Local-only at Launch

An expected element in the new LittleBigPlanet spin-off won’t be ready at launch. While there will definitely be Sackboy: A Big Adventure multiplayer, it will only be for people in the same room as you. Sumo Digital Design Director Ned Waterhouse explained on the PlayStation Blog that online multiplayer won’t be an option until a 2020 patch is released. But, when it does come, it will allow cross-platform play.

It’s actually part of a two-fold effort to add additional features. When Sackboy: A Big Adventure comes to the PS4 and PS5 in November 2020, people can go through the game alone or with up to four people in the same room as them. After the patch, which only has a 2020 release window, online will also appear.
