Batman: Arkham Knight is no longer for sale on PC! Although we’re talking about the PC port, we cannot skip taking the chance talking about Batman: Arkham Knight’s awful port. Rocksteady’s game was released on Tuesday and it’s alright… on consoles. However, the PC version got a horrible release. This is why Warner Bros. Games decided to immediately swipe the game off Steam until Iron Galaxy ends up fixing the game up into playable status. Batman: Arkham Knight publisher Warner Bros. actually suspended sales of the PC version following widespread complaints regarding the port’s quality.
“We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC. We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards,” a Warner Bros. representative wrote on the publisher’s forums.
Warner Bros. also suggested disgruntled players may want to process a Steam or retail refund.
Unlike the console build, which received very positive reviews, the PC port of Arkham Knight is a mess and has made consumers very, very angry.
Warner Bros. acknowledged the issues almost immediately, and suggested players stick to limited graphical settings while it worked on a solution.
Perhaps we ought to have seen this coming, given PC code was not distributed to reviewers, the minimum specs were upgraded at the last moment, and the last major Warner Bros. release, Mortal Kombat X, took a few weeks to settle down on PC.
The PC port of Batman: Arkham Knight was developed by High Voltage Software, which was also responsible for the poorly-received PC version of Mortal Kombat X. At time of writing you could still pick up Batman: Arkham Knight on Steam, but expect that to change shortly.
