How co-op works
Two local players share the campaign and open-world Gotham with drop-in, drop-out dynamic split screen. They switch among DC heroes, combining powers, suits, gadgets, vehicles, and character-specific puzzle abilities; Steam Remote Play Together supports a remote partner.

Building, smashing, and switching between characters is at the heart of the experience. Players collect studs, solve environmental puzzles, and fight through waves of minifigure enemies. Co-op brings extra freedom, since each player can roam independently and tackle different tasks at the same time, making exploration faster and more playful.
The game supports both same-screen and split-screen local multiplayer on a single PC, and you can also use Steam Remote Play Together to bring a friend online. Sessions are relaxed and family-friendly, perfect for casual teamwork or completionist runs where you unlock every character and secret.
