Exploring the galaxy in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga co-op mode is undoubtedly a blast with a buddy at your side, and now some clever players have found a way to make the game playable across two screens. While this split screen enhancement isn't too difficult to set up, some less-powerful gaming PCs will struggle to maintain playable frame rates after enabling it.
This Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga co-op enhancement is particularly demanding on your GPU, so we'd only really recommend running it on the game's system requirements.
So, how does it work? You'll essentially be creating a windowed instance of the game that stretches across two screens, and in turn double the amount of pixels rendered on your Y axis. This means that running the game on two 1080p displays essentially transforms the resolution to 3840×1080. This isn't possible to implement via the settings menu, so we've posted some instructions on how to do this, down below.
Here's how to play Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga co-op on two screens:
For Nvidia GeForce GPUs:
- Type 'Nvidia Control ' in the Windows search box and open it
- Navigate to 'Configure Surround, PhysX' in the '3D settings' dropdown
- Enable 'Span displays with Surround'
- Select your displays in the 'Displays' box and set the 'Bezels' value between 100-300 (You'll likely need to tinker with this to find the perfect setting for your setup)
- Click 'Enable Surround'
- Start the game

If you can't find the Nvidia Control in the Windows search box, you may need to update your graphics driver to the latest version.
