PC version of Batman game gets an update
Ten weeks after its first release, the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight is finally getting a much-needed update.
When the game was launched in June, it ran fine on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
But PC gamers complained of fluctuating frame rates, random freezes, audio glitches and a host of other problems which made the game so bad that it was pulled from online video game distributor Steam.
This latest patch promises to fix the most glaring issues, although the game is still not yet available for sale on Steam.
