Batman: Arkham Knight has landed on the Nintendo Switch within the Batman: Arkham Trilogy, and its performance is catching gamers' attention – especially when driving the infamous Batmobile. Despite the slight delay from October to December for a promised enhanced experience, it seems the game does a respectable job of harnessing the Switch's capabilities, with visuals that impress and smooth frame rates while on foot. Conversely, hopping into the Batmobile is a different story, as demonstrated in videos cropping up online which show noticeable stuttering and frame rate drops, causing concern among fans hoping for steady gameplay.

In an embedded video, the problematic performance during Batmobile sections is highlighted, showcasing the sudden frame rate drops that can disrupt the gameplay experience. While some players may recall that even at original launch, Batmobile sections were demanding on hardware, this brings hope that future updates could address the Switch port's performance woes. Until potential patches arrive, players might consider taking a break from vehicular vigilante work and stick to cape and cowl antics on foot.

Can I expect patches to improve Batman: Arkham Knight's performance on the Switch?

Given the history of performance patches for new releases, it is likely that developers will release updates to address the stuttering issues in the Batmobile sections of Batman: Arkham Knight on the Switch. However, there is currently no official timeline for such updates.

For players seeking an action-packed, crime-fighting experience on the Nintendo Switch, Batman: Arkham Knight offers a mix of impressive visuals and smooth gameplay on foot. The Batmobile, while central to the experience, may require a bit of patience as Rocksteady Studios works to iron out the kinks. In the meantime, the game remains a valuable addition for fans of the caped crusader looking to bring Gotham's dark knight to their handheld gaming sessions.
