An upcoming patch for Gotham Knights will attempt to address the game’s overall performance issues following a shaky launch. Developer Warner Bros. Montreal stated that it’s currently working on a patch that will arrive on consoles and PC in the near future that aims to make major fixes, but for now, another patch coming to consoles later this week is also making some smaller tweaks.
Gotham Knights launched last week to a mixed reception from fans and critics. Many praised its visuals and variety of gear, but slammed its unstable framerates on consoles, technical issues and grind-heavy nature. While the grind is still the least of the game’s problems, it continues to be a difficult game to play on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S due to its poor performance. However, the developer reassured fans that patchwork is coming.
