  • Will LBP3 be multilingual? I ask because i got LBP 1 and LBP 2 from a journey to USA and LBP 1 did have German language but LBP 2 didn’t.

  • So all the stuff we collected from the PS3 games will transfer to the PS4?

  • Is there the chance of cruss buy? I mean, I have both Ps4 & Ps3 so, if I buy LBP3 on Ps3 can I download it on my Ps4 too? Or do I have to buy it again? That’s something I haven’t read about. Hope you could help me out with this topic ,THANKS!

  • If i have two psn id on ps4 will this still work if one of the id have played both games. Or does both id got to have it please help.

  • You guys are doing it right! I haven’t played my LBP2 and Kart for almost 1 year now but I have a pretty big collection of costumes for my Sackboy. This will totally be on my top list for Christmas.

  • this is awesome news! just helped me decide whether or not to pick this up. my wife loved LBP but i didn’t want to have to re-invest in all the DLC we had from PS3. thanks!

    excited to see what other changes PS4 brings to LBP.

  • how about LBP 3D happening already? dont get me wrong I like LBP side scrolling but i think its time for new ways to play with sackboy… LBP64 XD

  • “You will be able to bring all of your LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2 Level Packs straight to LittleBigPlanet 3…” NO LBP Vita??? so sad~

  • Do you have to use your same PSN account you played lbp 1 and 2 to get all your DLC put on Lbp3?

  • I actually own both PS3 AND PS4 consoles, which leads me to one backwards-compatible question for this incredible game; say my sister is on PS3 in the center room playing the game and I’m in the other room playing the game on PS4, all the while we have PSN accounts. Can PS4 players interact online with PS3 users (as can PS3 players interact with those on PS4)?

  • Will the bonus DLC from my LBP1 GOTY Edition & LBP2 Special Edition disc transfer over to ps4 LBP3?
    Or only the stuff I bought from the psn store?

  • I want that game so bad

  • if i buy a ps3 lbp3 disc, does it work on ps4?

  • Will there be any kinds of huge sales leading up to the release of LBP3? I’m missing almost all of the worthwhile content (sans costume packs. Own all the ones i want), and i was hoping there’d be discount packs of all the level building content.

    Here’s to really hoping there is, since it doesn’t seem like any of 1 and 2’s DLC will ship with 3.

  • I read the entire post with the LBP narrator voice, you sack-fellow!

    It is for companies like Media Molecule that I keep getting Sony consoles, you guys are awesome! Thanks for working so hard to make LBP3 a better experience for all of your fans!

  • Are LittleBigPlanet Karting wardrobe items included in this?

    I’m not going to cry if they aren’t, I’m just wondering. :D

  • What about content from the game of the year edition ? Can i use a ps3 save file to prove to the ps4 that i own it or do i have to buy it again separately? How exactly do we import profiles from the ps3 to ps4? And what if we created content on a family profile but want to use it on our own PSN ID? I want to keep what i own so if this only works with PSN costumes and if i can’t transfer with a save file i will likely just avoid the ps4 version.

  • Also, will there be a port of the previous games to the PS4 or at least karting that we can use new content with?

  • Does somebody know if this game will support cross-platform gaming? Can PS4 users play online together with PS3 users and vice versa? I’m thinking on getting it for the PS4, but my cousin who I will play together with haven’t bought a PS4 yet so he’s getting it on the PS3.

  • Unfortunately I’d like to add my voice to the “Where is Run Sackboy Run” for PS Vita, or for Android? We all feel left out of it!

    Also I’m wondering if the DLC thing is going to be a problem for PS4 owners who have 2 PS4’s they play on in their own home, like I do. For2 PS3’s it was never a problem to let the whole family use what I bought, but now it will be since I can only “activate” one of the PS4’s to have my content available to everyone given the usual licensing rules that’s in place now.

  • I have 3 accounts for LBP. Originally I bought DLC through my sub account when I was a teenager, but I eventually I got tired of adding funds to that account, so I started buying dlc through the parent account. My DLC information is scattered, so I would like to know if it is possible to transfer my DLC and LBP profile data to my new normal account (this one.) I’d also like to know if you’re willing to make all the story collectables of both games exclusive dlc for the PS4 as well. I do not want to have to play through both games again. :/

    Oh, also, the Pirates of The Caribbean water machine was available for free on LBP2. Will the attract-o-gel from LBP2 also be available for free on LBP3?

  • Just would like to say, to all you guys at Sony and Sumo and everyone else involved in this, that I simply can NOT wait for this game!!! I’m a long-time LBP fan and I jumped on the pre-order the very instant I saw the announcement for this. I would play the stuffing out of LBP3 with or without costume compatibility, but this is just frosting on the cake!!! Super excited to get into the new content, here, and cannot wait for more news

  • Sorry if this was asked already, but in LBP3, will there be a way for newcomers to access the content from the first two games if they’ve never played them? I’d hate to think that my creative potential will be limited so much compared to others who have access to literally hundreds of assets that I and many others do not.

  • Can you transfor data from lbp 1-2 from your ps3 to lbp 3 to ps4?

  • I have lbp2 special edition and lbp1 game of the year edtion. will the extras from those two games tranfer the ps4 version

  • I wish i got crown in little big planet….

  • i have been trying to help out the community so much on my other account emrooz

  • So, if I played Lbp1 and 2 on my old account that got hacked, Is there anyway for me too get it transfered too my new account? On the lbp website? Or is there nothing I can do?

  • So out of curiosity, if I buy little big planet 3 for PS3 then be able to purchase the upgrade to the PS4 Versions like they did for previous games for 10$?

  • would i be able to connect to my friend’s ps4 even though i have the ps3 version?

  • So I just got the game on Ps4 and i went to download my dlc like the first metal gear solid pack that i got back in Lbp 1 but it says i have to buy the costumes again. Is this because i got lbp 1 collectors edition or what? and also the history kit and monsters kit are not free either also metal gear solid pack is not there.

  • Dear Steven
    I have recently gotten LBP3, but there is 1 major issue: Some DLC and story items are missing from my popit. The DLC items and costumes that are from the DLC stories has to be recollected and I dont wanna go through all that again. But also any Rare DLC or DLC that is time based does not transfer over (Like my beta vest!) ALso alot of items from LBP2 are missing, And I dont know how to get them over to LBP3 PS4. Do you know how to help?

  • Ok, so I am currently playing on the same account i’ve had since the first LBP and LBP2. I did not have any of my old purchased content. How would i get it?

  • Why can’t I download some of the content I purchased for littlebigplanet 1 and 2? Some of the costumes I have for the previous games are not available for download even though I purchased them. For example I bought the mass effect costumes for littlebigplanet 2 and when I go to the store to download them for littlebigplanet 3 it says they’re unavailable. The same goes for the mgs costumes and a few others.

  • Does co-op share play work with lbp3?

  • Any ideas for future DLC for LittleBigPlanet3?

  • so can u play with friends on the ps3 from ps4?

  • I am a owner of the Little Big Planet Game of the Year Edition. That one came with a bunch of the DLC from the first game, including MGS, Halloween, etc. Since I suppose I didn’t buy the actual pack those costumes aren’t showing up. Will I need to buy all that stuff separate to get it on LBP3?

  • I am having trouble downloading content I have from previous games. Some say “unavailable”, even though I have them from previous games, and others I have from packs, want me to pay again. Specifically, the original “animal costumes”

  • Nvrmd. I found it on the playstation store website. Either I’m blind or the “animal costumes” pack isn’t on the ps4 store or accessible through the game. For those having trouble with downloading “unavailable costumes”, check to see if the ‘pack’ is available for purchase rather than individual. If you go to the psn store website on your computer, it’ll give you an actual description of why it’s unavailable, rather than the generic message the ps4’s psn store shows.

  • I am on a ps4 and I purchased a few costumes through the in game dlc store on lbp3. For some reason i cannot download them. To the ps4. When i check my recent purchases on my vita and computer (can’t find it on ps4) it says that the costume is available for download on my ps3 (lbp 2 and Karting ) and for the vita version. But it does not show that i can download them for lbp3. Any idea why that might be? And i was charged for the costumes by the way.

  • Can they please come out with an update to fix all of this I’m on a ps4 but I want all my costumes and levels for moon back please it seems like everyone else who bought the game is having the same problem and no solution. I have gotten most of my costume packs back but not all. The packs I got back said free and I had to download them individually but I still want all my content. Can you guys thumbs this up so it gets noticed..I’m sure their working on it but I haven’t gotten any news.

  • I can’t buy the move pack in nether lbp 3 or 2 or even in the psn store it doesn’t have a listed price so it doesn’t let me buy it on psn store it isn’t even listed. I can’t find where to redownload my lbp2 costumes onto ps4 lbp3 and when I click a level pack a bought it will go to the store to download it but it says “no content found”! Please help!

  • If I’m using a different account than I did for LBP 1-2, how would I transfer my stuff? Is it possible?

  • I had the LBP2 Special Edition, which came with the Toy Story and Move DLC Packs, as well as some Toy Story Costumes and the Dogs Pack costumes. When I got LBP3, since I didn’t actually download the previously mentioned content (it came with the LBP2 disk), it did not transfer over. Is there any way for me to access this content in LBP3 without having to buy it again?

  • OK, so I’ve been playing Little Big Planet 3 and loving it, but I’m having an issue. The copious amount of DLC I purchased for LBP1 and LBP2 have NOT transferred over with the rest of the things from my account. Likewise, my attempts to purchase DLC from the LBP3 in game store have ended with the store taking my money, but me not getting a costume in return. What’s happening here? Please help.

  • I have LBP3 on Ps4. none of my previous content appears. it all says unavailable for everything i’ve bought. this is the same PS ID since the first game. also bought a bunch of stuff through the LBP3 store and none of it shows up or lets me download it. Am i missing something? game is great though. so much more enjoyable than 2

  • I have re downloaded all my old content and it says it has downloaded but nothing shows up when I’m actually in the game. Am I missing an installation step or something? I also am not able to purchase the day 1 shirts or anything else. It may just be a problem with the playstation store. Is anyone else having this problem?

  • I have loved the lbp series ever since the 1st one and I collected everything from each game but when I bought a ps4 and sold my ps3 I decided to create a new acount so I could change my name. Now that I dont have my old account, I cant transfer anything. Will there be a dlc that will include every material and object and what have you from all previous games? I just would love to have alot more stuff to create with.

  • I was so happy to hear that the stuff would get transferred, which is why I got LBP3. After LBP3 recognized my account and transferred my goods, I noticed that I am missing a lot of content I purchased from LBP1 and 2. I am not pleased at all. I spent a lot of money and am not going to spend another dime on DLCs or extra costumes until I get the stuff I paid for transferred, as advertised before I got LBP3.

    Please fix this.
