DLC Plan: Two Collections Detailed

Warner Bros. has structured the game’s extra content into two DLC collections.

This bundle ships immediately with the Deluxe Edition and consists of three themed packs totaling more than 30 items :

• Arkham Trilogy Pack: Suits, vehicles, and Batcave items inspired by the Batman: Arkham video game series.
• Batman Beyond Pack: Content based on the animated Batman Beyond television series.

Mayhem Collection (Releases September 18, 2026)

This is the big launch-day bonus for Switch 2. On September 18, Deluxe Edition owners across all platforms—including Switch 2—will unlock the Mayhem Collection DLC. Its centerpiece is a new Mayhem Mode featuring The Joker and Harley Quinn as playable characters .

While Switch 2 Deluxe Edition buyers get Mayhem Collection access on day one, players who purchased the Standard Edition will need to buy the DLC separately or upgrade. Pricing for individual DLC packs has not yet been announced.
