legendary info fetches and displays detailed metadata about a game — including its version, install size, available DLCs, and launch configuration. You can query by app name (looking up the game from your Epic account) or pass a local manifest file path or a remote manifest URL directly, making it useful for inspecting specific game versions without installing them. Pass --offline to view cached information without requiring an internet connection.

​
Usage

legendary info [-h] [--offline] [--json] [--platform <Platform>] <App Name/Manifest URI>
The argument can be:
  • An app name as shown by legendary list (e.g. Anemone)
  • A local path to a .manifest file
  • A remote URL pointing to a manifest

​
Flags

​
--offline
flag
Only display information available from Legendary’s local cache. No network requests are made. Useful when you are offline or want a quick lookup without triggering a metadata fetch.
​
--json
flag
Output all game information as JSON. Useful for scripting or piping into other tools.
​
--platform <Platform>
string
Platform to fetch information for. Defaults to the already-installed platform if the game is installed, then Mac on macOS, or Windows otherwise.

​
Examples

# Show information about an installed or available game
legendary info Anemone

# Output game information as JSON
legendary info Anemone --json

# Show only locally cached information (no network)
legendary info Anemone --offline

# Show information for the Mac platform build
legendary info Anemone --platform Mac

# Inspect a local manifest file
legendary info /path/to/game.manifest

# Inspect a remote manifest by URL
legendary info https://example.com/manifests/game.manifest

​
Notes

When querying by app name, legendary info contacts Epic’s API to fetch the latest manifest unless --offline is specified. This means the command requires a valid login session unless you use --offline.
Combine --json with a tool like jq to extract specific fields from the output — for example, the install size or the list of DLCs — in shell scripts or automation workflows.
Passing a manifest URI (local path or URL) lets you inspect any game version, not just the currently available one. This is useful for checking what files a specific build contains before deciding to install or downgrade.
