We’re now just two weeks away from the launch of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and the developers at TT Games have revealed the game’s official PC system requirements.
Unfortunately, it’s not great news. In fact, to our knowledge, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight might very well be the first PC game to require Frame Generation to be enabled as a requirement for the Minimum spec.
This is troubling on its own and even more so because the specs mention the game would run at 30 frames per second with Frame Generation enabled. Basically, the developers are using it to boost a game that runs at 15 or 20 FPS to around 30 FPS with FG technology. However, Frame Generation was never designed for this use case.
NVIDIA recommends a base framerate of at least 60 FPS before enabling DLSS Frame Generation, as FG works by interpolating between rendered frames; if the base framerate is already low or inconsistent, the interpolated frames introduce latency and artifacts that degrade rather than improve the experience.
AMD similarly recommends FSR Frame Generation be used on top of a stable 60 FPS base, and their own documentation warns that using it below that threshold produces noticeable ghosting and input lag. The same goes for Intel’s XeSS Frame Generation guidelines.
| Specs | Minimum | Recommended | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 | Windows 11 | Windows 11 |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-10600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 | Intel Core i7-12700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X | Intel Core i7-14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9700X |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM | 24 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4 GB, AMD Radeon RX 6400 4 GB, or Intel Arc A580 8 GB | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8 GB, AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT 8 GB, or Intel Arc B580 12 GB | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB or AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB |
| Details | Low 1080p @ 30 FPS with FSR or XESS Balanced & Frame Gen enabled | Medium 1440p @ 60 FPS with DLSS, FSR or XESS Quality & Frame Gen enabled | 2160p @ 60 FPS with DLSS, FSR or XESS Quality & Frame Gen enabled |
| Storage | SSD required, 50 GB available space | SSD required, 50 GB available space | SSD required, 50 GB available space |
We haven’t gotten our hands on LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight yet, but these specs do not bode well for a smooth experience, especially on the low end. It doesn’t help that the game runs on Unreal Engine 5 (the first game in the LEGO series to switch from their proprietary technology), which makes us even more worried about its open world performance.
Still, we’ll know soon enough, given the launch proximity; the game is out on May 22, 2026. Stay tuned.
