Warner Bros. Montreal has outlined issues it wants to fix in future Gotham Knights patches, including performance issues for players on PC and console.
In a thread on the game’s official Twitter, the team said it wanted to outline some of the changes it expects to make to the live game, as well as an overall timeline for incoming patches. Players playing on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S can expect a patch “by the end of the week” that addresses the “necessary fixes” that have come to light since the Gotham Knights launch last week.

In general, Warner Bros. Montreal that it is aware of PC and console players experiencing performance challenges and is working on a patch to improve overall performance, especially frame rate stability on consoles. This follows controversy earlier this month, where it was confirmed that Gotham Knights would only run at 30fps on console, with no option for a higher frame rate performance mode to maintain an “untethered co-op experience”.
The latest patch for PC players went live yesterday, October 26, and in addition to general bug fixes, crashing during the Harley Quinn Hospital Boss Fight has also been addressed. At the time of writing, the studio is also investigating a compatibility issue with Nvidia Ansel.
Performance aside, Gotham Knights has quite a few issues, with IGN’s review citing “poor combat, a transparently predictable mystery, and grueling progression” as drawbacks in the co-op Bat Family game.
