Warner Bros. Puts A Pause On Batman: Arkham Knight For PC

 Warner Bros. Interactive has decided to suspend sales on the pc version of Batman: Arkham Knight from store shelves as well as the digital version previously available on Steam.  Since the game’s launch on June 23, PC users have been reporting various issues with the game,which include crashes and extremely unstable frame rates, even when the PC game has a cap of 30fps.

Rocksteady studios head Sefton Hill has confirmed the suspicions of players. The PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight was ported from the console version. The port was done by Iron Galaxy Studios. Iron Galaxy has much more experience with console games than it does working with PC titles. The last PC game Iron Galaxy studios worked on was the port of Batman: Arkham Origins, which many players still remember had a lot of issues.

Earlier, Warner Bros. Interactive made a public statement on the matter, which you can read below:

“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.  We greatly value our customers and know that while there are a significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall.
