Xbox Cock Up Makes LEGO Batman Playable a Week Before Release
Push Square • • technology
Key Points:
- LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is officially releasing on May 22, with a three-day Early Access period for those who pay extra.
- Due to an Xbox error, some Walmart digital codes were redeemable before the official release, allowing early play; the issue has been patched but offline consoles can still access the game.
- Players with automatic updates lost access to the game after the patch, highlighting the impact of the Xbox system glitch.
- Xbox also faced a separate leak of Forza Horizon 6 on PC from an unencrypted build, marking two significant digital game leaks in one weekend.
- Early access to LEGO Batman may lead to spoilers circulating soon, especially given the game’s rich references to Batman’s comic book lore.
