LEGO Batman Gets First Major Discount and PlayStation Plus 1.5‑Hour Trial

Limited free play and time-limited price cuts are designed to boost purchases ahead of the game's planned post-launch content.

Overview

  • PlayStation Plus Premium added a 1.5-hour full-game trial on Tuesday that lets subscribers sample LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight before deciding to buy.
  • Digital stores launched the game's first substantial sale on Wednesday, cutting the base price 20% to $55.99 on PlayStation Store and Xbox Store through August 13 and on Steam through August 10.
  • The Deluxe Edition is also 20% off to $71.99 and includes over 30 Legacy Collection items plus the Mayhem Collection, a September expansion that adds a new story mission and a Joker-and-Harley Mayhem mode.
  • Developed by Traveller's Tales and released in May, the open-world LEGO Gotham title received generally positive reviews and features a new combat system, local cooperative play, and many playable heroes and villains.
  • The short trial and limited sale should speed purchases from players who delayed buying, and PC users face an earlier Steam deadline on August 10 that may push their decision timeline.
