Overview
- A small group of Xbox players reported over the weekend that they could start LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight more than ten days before release.
- Reddit posts point to a Walmart app pre-order linking to Xbox as the trigger, with consoles showing the game as ready to play.
- VGC reports the loophole has been fixed, and one early player later saw a “required update available,” raising the chance of a patch that blocks access.
- The Xbox preload went live with a download of about 45.16 GB, which suggests the full build was available on servers.
- The launch plan stays the same with Deluxe Edition early access on May 19 and full release on May 22 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC, and publishers often use day‑zero patches or access revokes when preload slips occur.
