LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game served as a promising debut for the studio, paving the way for subsequent successful releases like Indiana Jones, Batman, and Harry Potter.

Traveller's Tales' initial LEGO project was LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game in 2005. This game featured the three prequel movies, infused with family-friendly humor and a plethora of collectibles. While the game may appear dated now, it laid the foundation for the formula that TT Games would adopt for their subsequent LEGO titles. In the following years, TT Games refined this formula, culminating in the highly acclaimed LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which remains a pinnacle achievement even years after its original launch.

TT Games continued to release a new LEGO game annually, including popular franchises like Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, and Batman. The year 2011 was particularly significant for TT Games, as they released three LEGO games within just eight months, all of which have become classics. Even the lowest-rated game in the series, LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars, has gained a more positive reception over time.

In 2015, TT Games decided to try something different with their game LEGO Dimensions. Inspired by the success of Disney Infinity and Skylanders, LEGO joined the toys-to-life trend by creating a game that incorporated real-world LEGO sets and minifigures. While LEGO Dimensions received mixed reviews and sales, it did not deter TT Games from exploring new ideas. In 2017, they released LEGO Worlds, a game that loosely modeled after Minecraft.

The LEGO Movie 2 game and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga had a significant time gap, but the developer encountered major internal problems. In addition to excessive work pressure, the new engine of TT Games did not function as intended, resulting in a longer development phase for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga than any previous LEGO game. Despite the challenging work conditions, The Skywalker Saga proved to be an excellent game, setting a solid foundation for future LEGO games by Traveller's Tales.
