LEGO 2K Drive slammed for losing player progress

Early-access players of LEGO 2K Drive are complaining that the game is losing their progress when connecting to online servers.

Although LEGO 2K Drive is not available to play for all players until May 19, those with early access have been playing it since May 16. Reviews of the gameplay itself have been largely positive but one major issue is ruining the experience for many.

Many players are reporting that the game is losing their progress by disconnecting them from the servers, but without displaying any warning that they have been disconnected. A reviewer at Video Games Chronicle reported that they lost ten hours of gameplay, bringing their progress down from 65% to just 1%.

For many players, this means that they will play through a large chunk of the game, leave their console for a while, and return to find that none of their progress has saved. This limits access to features that you unlock over time, such as using the in-game shop or playing certain races.

When VGC reported the issue to the game developers, a 2K spokesperson said: “We understand some players are experiencing a loss of game progress with LEGO 2K Drive on PS5. We are investigating and will share additional updates as soon as they’re available.”

In addition, other early players are complaining about the need to grind for money in order to unlock key features and customisation, saying that it removes the fun from the gameplay. While this is a standard game mechanic, some players are reporting that a race win earns you just £5 of the in-game currency, with a vehicle costing £10,000.

Despite these reservations, early reviews highlight that the gameplay and graphics are impressive and make for a fun experience – which is just as well if the game resets your progress every time you take a break.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.
