They are non-player games controlled by the computer, so you have to find friends to play. It collects almost 800 board games, meticulously designed in 3D to be identical to the physical version.īest of all, they are all free, although some expansions or game modes require purchasing the premium version. Full details on the update can be found here.Tabletopía is one of the largest platforms for board games that exist for computers. LEGO Worlds currently lives on Steam Early Access for Windows and costs £11.99/14,99€/$14.99. Your mate can then jump in by either selecting 'Join Game' or by seeking you out via their Steam Friends list. Close that box, load a world as normal and, voila, you can now host an online game. Select 'Start Online Game' before enabling the green tick by clicking on it. The settings menu on the game's world selection screen should now have an Online World option.

Hosting a game requires a bit more clicking and box ticking, but it's still pretty straightforward. Your game will then update and when you next load it you should be in. Next, click on the Betas tab and, in the drop down menu, select the 'Beta' option. Opting into the new beta is pretty simple: locate LEGO Worlds in your Steam library, right click and choose 'Properties'. 'Set up your cities and towns road networks (and help solve the problem that is the British M6 whilst you’re at it for bonus points!) We've also thrown in a couple of new quests as well for you to try out (as always though, these are for you to find!) and a couple of updates to our characters and creatures behaviours to make them feel a little more alive.'

Here's developer TT Games on that last part: Simplified 'Rotational' vehicle controls - where movement is 'defined by a button press, rather than pointing in a direction' - have also been added, as well as new road tiles and a couple of new quests. Again, they're new in Update 6, so too is the aforementioned first person camera. The grappling hooks around the 1.21 mark there look pretty neat.

More on the update, how to join the beta, and an E3-flavoured multiplayer trailer below. A beta version is now live so you and one pal can partner up/fall out forever in each other's worlds, making use of the update's other additions - such as a first-person camera view and grappling hooks - as you see fit. After a year of block-building in Early Access, LEGO Worlds is finally adding online multiplayer as part of Update 6.
