The initial launch version of LittleBigPlanet will lack a promised feature that was to allow up to four players to use the create mode together online.
Posting on the official PlayStation forums, a developer under the alias 'Sam_Protagonist' revealed: "The ability to create with your friends online will come as part of the first major update after the game is released. Offline creating with up to 4 people on one PlayStation 3 however is available right from the get go."
They went on: "The next question will undoubtedly be 'when is the first update due' and right now there is no specific time set at the moment, however with the game having gone gold, the team at Media Molecule are already hard at work on content for the game after its release, with online multiplayer creating top of the list."
