To all those who have played LEGO Party, shared it with friends of family, engaged with the community, and continued giving feedback since launch last September, thank you!
We've gotten tons of requests for new features and content since the game's release, but the most common request by far has been public multiplayer. The team at SMG has been hard at work adding to the game over the past 10 months and, earlier this year, they started building a cross-platform public lobby system. It's available now!
This is LEGO Party's biggest update yet, but it won't be the last one. We'll share more on future updates when we can, but until then, have fun, read on below for full patch notes, and share your feedback with us here and in the forums!
