Batman: Arkham Knight on PC has been in sorry state ever since it was launched in June. Now it seems the otherwise awesome game is finally getting the long waited patch to fix the many technical problems. Rocksteady Studios has now revealed that the patch is entering testing.
"If all goes well, we expect to issue the patch in the next few weeks.", a community manager wrote on the Warner Bros. community forum .
