LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight runs on a GTX 960 — here's what you need to play it
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launches May 22, 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S — and the PC requirements are surprisingly light. The minimum GPU is a GTX 960, a card released back in 2015, meaning the vast majority of gaming PCs already meet the bar. For anyone who sat out the GPU upgrade cycle, that's genuinely good news ahead of a typically expensive summer release window.
The specs
Warner Bros. Games and developer TT Games (LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga) confirmed the full requirements via the Official FAQ. At minimum settings — 1080p at 30fps — you need a GTX 960, an Intel Core i5-10600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16GB of RAM, and 50GB of SSD space. Windows 11 is required across all tiers.
The recommended spec, targeting 1440p at 60fps, asks for an RTX 2070 Super or AMD RX 6650 XT alongside a Core i7-12700 or Ryzen 7 5800X. For full 4K at 60fps, you're looking at an RTX 4070 or Radeon RX 9070 XT with a Core i7-14700K or Ryzen 7 9700X and 24GB of RAM. DLSS, FSR, and XeSS frame generation are all supported across tiers, which explains how the minimum spec stays so low.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight — official PC system requirements cover everything from a GTX 960 up to an RTX 4070 for 4K play.
The game
Legacy of the Dark Knight aims to blend the lighter, comedic tone typical of LEGO games with the darker atmosphere of Christopher Nolan's Batman films. Combat takes cues from the Batman: Arkham trilogy, though the LEGO setting and lower age rating keep things accessible. Seven characters are playable at launch: Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Jim Gordon, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul — each with distinct gadgets and fighting styles.
Pricing and platforms
The standard edition is priced at $69.99 / £59.99 / €69.99, with a Deluxe edition at $89.99 / £79.99 / €89.99. Pre-orders are live now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Xbox. Physical copies are expected at major retailers. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is also planned, though WB has not confirmed a release date for that platform.
The release was originally set for May 29 before being moved a week earlier. A DLC pack — the Mayhem Collection — is slated for September 2026.
