Nearly a week after launch, Gotham Knights is getting an update that aims to fix some of its major issues.
Rocksteady’s newest title, Gotham Knights, got off to a rocky start when it launched on October 21, 2022. After a disappointing announcement that the game would be locked to 30 fps on consoles, fans were at least looking forward to a glitch-free experience. Unfortunately, a few bugs marred the experience for some, causing the developers to take note. As of today, a new patch has been released, aimed at tackling these issues. For now, the PC platform is the only one with the patch. Console patches are expected to arrive in the coming week.
Here’s everything fixed in the new Gotham Knights PC patch.

What’s next for the game?
Taking to Twitter, the developers of Gotham Knight posted a lengthy statement about their plans. Mentioning that their current focus is to refine the game, they defined a short roadmap of what’s to come. Their primary focus right now seems to be addressing the performance issues on consoles. A tweet from the developer reads:
