The Batman Arkham series of games are great fun with plenty of content and excellent combat though it’s widely noted that the Nintendo Switch version of Batman Arkham Knight wasn’t quite up to scratch especially when it comes down to performance. Today, Warner Bros. Games have released an update which includes some unspecified enhancements for the game when played on the newer Nintendo Switch 2 in handheld mode. No doubt YouTubers will be all over this if there are some substantial changes.
Update addresses the following:
- Additional stability improvements for Batman: Arkham Knight on Nintendo Switch.
- Additional stability improvements when playing Batman: Arkham Knight on Nintendo Switch 2 through backwards compatibility.
- Additional performance and visual improvements when playing the game undocked on Nintendo Switch 2 through backwards compatibility.

Since it specifies undocked, best guess is that it runs at 1080p in handheld mode now.
Anyone who purchased it should just get a Switch 2 Edition instead. I know it’s got problems but at least the Skyrim Anniversary Edition was a switch 2 edition. WB needs to step up
Wait…. there’s a Switch 2 edition?!?!
No
Here’s to hope that MK1 gets a switch 2 update, come on WB games!
