"After the download finished, the user received the “ready to start” notification, clicked it, and was loaded into what appears to be the full game. Screenshots posted to the subreddit showed the game's loading screen, start menu, and the opening level."
"Several players have since shared that they gained access to Lego Batman early after purchasing a digital copy through the retailer's website. However, it seems the glitch only works on Xbox platforms. One user noted that at the end of their session, the game prompted them to update."
"Others have confirmed that the game is no longer playable ahead of launch following the pre-release patch. Lego Batman isn't the only game that's recently suffered an earlier than expected release. Forza Horizon 6 was leaked on Steam several days ahead of schedule."
"But publisher WB Games and the developers at TT Games may have burned their whole forest down after adding Denuvo, the much maligned DRM software, to the game's PC release. Though the software is an anti-piracy tool used throughout the industry, Denuvo has a reputation for tanking a game's performance. Players have complained about early adopters getting hit with the Denuvo tax"
Some Xbox players reported downloading and launching Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight before its May 22 release date after preordering or buying a digital copy through a retailer website. After the download completed, a “ready to start” prompt loaded the full game, including the loading screen, start menu, and opening level. Other players said the game later required an update and became unplayable ahead of launch after a pre-release patch. Walmart was suggested as a possible source of the early access glitch, which appeared to work only on Xbox. Separately, Forza Horizon 6 leaked on Steam early, with unencrypted preload files appearing on piracy sites. Performance concerns also emerged for the PC version after adding Denuvo DRM, with complaints about a “Denuvo tax.”
