‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ for PC Pulled Out from Steam

Due to the issues reported by PC gamers regarding "Batman: Arkham Knight," the game's publisher has decided to take it down from Steam.

The company said that it is currently working on solving the glitches in the game and will deliver an updated version of "Batman: Arkham Knight" for the PC soon, Polygon reported.

Almost immediately after the third installment in the "Batman: Arkham" series was released on June 23, many PC players reported experiencing bugs such as sporadic freezes, audio problems and frame-rate lags while playing the game.

Upon looking into the matter, developer Rocksteady Studios noted most PC owners affected by the issues are those running the game using an AMD graphics card. Game publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment warned before the game's launch that it had discovered certain compatibility issues with this type of GPU.

In response to the issues, Warner Bros. and Rocksteady Studios promised to release a fix that will hopefully restore the game's performance. In the meantime, the game publisher has suspended the game's sales on Steam.

"We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with 'Batman: Arkham Knight' on PC," Warner Bros. wrote on the game's Steam page. "We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy out quality standards."

"We greatly value our customer and know that while there are significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall," the company continued.

Aside from Warner Bros., GPU-manufacturer Nvidia is also working on resolving the issues plaguing the PC version of the game, Video Gamer has learned. As previously reported, the company's GeForce GTX 660 GPU was listed as part of the game's minimum system requirements.

To assist Warner Bros., Nvidia said that it has allocated its engineering and quality assurance resources to the game publisher to help fix the problems.
